Hi Ted,
For some reason, this quote just rubbed me wrong. I don't at all think I'm in the 1%, and I don't fly exclusively F or J tickets, but this one line just ate at me. I dunno if it was the 1% part or what, but it just seems a bit out of place. I'm sure there are plenty of FT members who get to fly 1/2 the mileage requirement due to their companies or customers paying for the F/J seats and not due to those people themselves being part of the "1%". Just felt like I needed to post this.
