I was up-op once due to being LE on a small plane, other than that never flown up front. taxpayers money and all
The w/ prisoner part of your post caught my eye. Is it pretty common to escort prisoners on commercial flights? And of course I have to ask, do the prisoners earn miles for the flight? What if they want to use their own upgrade instruments?
