this kind of mentality is what screws up our country man. I'm grateful enough to have someone in my life doing something like this. I don't have a family ok dude? I'm grateful they are doing all this that they are doing for me. I am also speaking in front of congress by the way, and the ticket cost already $430, plus theres lots of other things they are doing for me while im there. I'm estimating that they are spending close to $1000 on me to get me come to Washington to speak with congress members about my experiences in foster care and what needs to be changed with it. So no, I dont want to say to them, give me a first class ticket. that is wrong and greedy. They are also covering for the hotel,per diem, and ground transportation costs plus being paid $250 to attend.
I am just looking for OLCI the possibility on E-first paid upgrade:

They're willing to pay but you're not willing to have the airline actually get the $$$ if you can avoid it? Why do you care if it isn't your money -- and you do make such a point of saying it isn't your money?
