I nominate this thread as one of the silliest in a long time.

I always chuckle when the hackles get raised from the same posters who didn't buy a FC seat, but feel they deserve them. Do you go to your favorite restaurant, buy the hamburger, and expect the steak? Personally, they should junk FC and make it all BC, E+ and coach. No one buys FC anymore, it's mostly free upgrades, so why even have it.

The FA had to take the seat, by FAA rules with an inop jumpseat. They can't fix everything at an outbase. The wife elected to leave FC, the person in the seat she chose to sit in "might" have been an employee, and changes with her. The whole premise of somehow this was a preplanned event to get two employees into FC is too funny
