Personally, I have never purchased a domestic FC ticket and thus have only flown domestic FC as an upgrade; I never noticed a difference between myself and any other passengers.

In BF, I have never been able to get a BF upgrade, so all of my BF flying has been as a paying passengers (albeit at very discounted fares). Again, I have never noticed any preferential treatment.

At its best CO BF service is among the best in the industry, at its worst it's still very professional.
