Free BE? Fine by me.
My complaint is very different; my complaint is about keeping the exclusive and quiet nature of the BE cabin to be able to offer and more easily justify the high costs of flying in a premium cabin. By giving the empty seats to Bob's 17 year old nephew, parents, neighbors, and second cousins twice removed, you have taken away just that.
DMs and PMs who do not purchase BE tickets are no more entitled to BE; that is NOT my argument. Go fly J or F on an international based carrier, notice the empty seats and overall much more exclusive feel, and tell me how much better the flying experience it is. Trust me, its noteworthy and ill vote with my $$ everytime.
This thread has not taken a turn for the worse yet, we are all still acting very adult
