I have NEVER heard CC (of either gender) talking about their private lives. Perhaps I should get a hearing aid to spice up my life? If I walk into the galley and they are having a private conversation (as any of us do in our work place) they always break off and turn to help. And I mean on that on 99% of the carriers I have used and the exceptions are few and far between and, come to think of it, a long time ago.
