New "profile type"?

[Dont call me Shirley]

Can anyone shed light/info on this? Granted we have only one side of the story here, but the passenger seems articulate and reasonable (even if not the best speller in the world*).

If reading an aviation book on board is cause for suspicion these days, some people on the board could be trouble.
Good thing the man was not studying Arabic!

To Whom It May Concern,

My name is Vance Gilbert.

I live in Arlington, MA.

I am a homeowner, having been here 10+ years, I have a partner, and we have two 52lb Standard Poodles.

I am a 6 foot tall, bespectacled, slightly greying, 52 year old, 230 lb African-American male with a close hair cut...

"Embraer 170" IMHO, some of these F/A's are dictatorial flight nazis.
Flying sucks but they make the experience 'suckier'.
I'll rent a car on short flights just to avoid 'the experience'.

And what's the other side of the story. No one goes back to the gate because a pax puts his wallet under the seat in front of them or is reading a book about airplane. Come on, level with us.
