An AA non-rev in first class while paying customers wait for the next flight?
It appears that the paying customer, who frankly is probably unaware, is at the mercy of the AA who appears to have lost their focus on “customer service.”
I remember asking a non-rev the other day why she wasn't flying FC, and she told me they weren't allowed unless they paid for it. Like an upgrade.
