Remember when Barbara Boxer (D-CA) did the same thing?

I work for an airline. I don't know about Qantas, but our boarding passes print LASTNAME/FIRSTNAME. Generally, there's no indication of Dr., Mr., Mrs., or Miss. So, generally, we call everyone Mr. or Ms. no matter what degree they might have. Honestly, I do that with the flight crew, too. I don't say Captain Lastname, I say Mr. Lastname.

I've found that most people have zero problem with not being addressed by their title in the 2 seconds I interact with them. If they do, I say, "I'm so sorry Dr. Lastname." Then simply call them Sir or Ma'am from that point on.

The fact that she felt she needed to make such a big issue of this probably has nothing to do with the airline employee at all. I'm guessing it has been a hot button for her with someone else in her life, and she's pushing that on to strangers she interacts with. She does need to tone down the sensitivity a lot, but she probably also needs to talk to whoever in her life is making her feel inadequate as a doctor.

A phd holder isn’t a real fucking doctor in the first place. It’s a title that some academics use.
