Ever heard the misnomer, "we lose money with every sale, but make it up on volume.."?
...you're kidding me right?...
SE's and MM'ers that FLY WEEKLY DO keep this airline afloat even if they were to be booked on T+ Fare, Flight Passes etc...you must be a disgruntled E or something or have an axe to grind with SE's and MM'ers huh?...and besides IMHO members that are flying over 100K, 150K, 200K and 250K paid miles or more like me should be offered the seat in J Class if it is not sold at the last minute anyways. If it's unsold at the last minute is it my fault or is it Marketing's fault for missing the boat in either pricing it right, not providing LMU's and/or providing a special Z fare?..I get it you'd rather see the seat just go empty with nobody in it is that it and especially an SE or MM'er?
