Missydoll,
I certainly don't begrudge airline employees a free, open FC seat after all eligible upgrading passengers have been accommodated. I just didn't understand how Nonrev's logic path flowed, i.e. "I quit a better paying job therefore the traveling public should be subjected to a 15% fare hike to accommodate my voluntary lifestyle change."
I'd be delighted to spend the day with you getting passed over for seats. I'm sure the airport bars and lounges would love the sudden surge in business!

I think the point of Nonrevs "hike the fares" comment was to point out that the reason many of us work in the industry is for the benefits...one of them being to fly in FC when there is space available and if they are going dissallow that particular perk then wages..and in turn fares are going to have to go way up in order to retain quality employees.
Those who begrudge the airline employee's occasional opportunity to sit up front should spend the day getting "passed over" for a seat with me sometime. Thats another one of the perks of employee travel
