Tolerate?
Many employers require loyalty.
Many employers have preferred carriers and require their employers to fly with preferred carriers. Two of my previous employers, companies with tens of thousands of employees, have preferred carriers, hotels, and rental companies. We are expected to use these preferred suppliers even when they price out higher than a non-preferred supplier (up to a certain threshold, such as maximum airfare differential or maximum daily room rate).

Can anyone reallly be that sad about a bag of preztel dust -- no of course not. But it's just so petty and reflects an underlying theme.
Today most pax in F upgraded. So why should CO provide amenties that cost it money?
