Quelle horreur! Think of the TATL flights with empty FC/BC seats, not enough "premiums" waiting for upgrades, having to fill the seats with penniless community college students, visions of Amsterdam's cheap pankoeken and legal dope dancing before their eyes. Why, airports with Vegas flights would become like the shopping center parking lots, crowded with tottering elders who now wait for the cheap charter buses to the nearest Bingo & Slots hall.

Old enough to remember and use military standbys @ half price, I remain.....
