I can understand the employee's desire to fly First Class, as I'm a former employee and I was the one *wanting* and *praying* for First Class.

yet on the other hand, I'm a Premier Executive flyer and prefer F cabin due to the fact it's sheltered off from the rest of the cabin and is quieter and easier for me to rest or work on the flight versus Economy Plus.

While some airlines won't let their leisure-traveling employees fly up front, I think that the system in place is what we have to work with.

I do agree with the statements made that if an NRSA is *cleared* for F, or even a POSITIVE space passenger is cleared for First and a FF wants to upgrade and has the means to do it, then that NRSA should be bumped.... but cut off of 10 mins prior to door shutting...

is that fair??
