I have no desire to remove this perq. However, I'm more inclined to side with NJDavid as to when employees are eligible for this perq: "Employees should be able to use open 1st class seats, but only after every eligible passenger has been accounted for"
As for misquoting, I apologize if I took Nonrev's comments out of context, but it really seemed to me that she/he expects to fly in F ahead of eligible pax sometimes unless there is a fare hike. I don't believe positive-space F was guaranteed upon employment and to expect some kind of wage increase in lieu of this non-guaranteed perq doesn't seem right to me.
And I'm also with UAPremierExec: "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...."
Beyond that, I have no problems at all with employees flying F or C. They should get those seats ahead of operational upgrades but after eligible upgrading pax.

Spiff - I think you are misquoting NonRev99 regarding the pay increase/new job.
If you and others want to take this benefit away, it should be compensated elsewhere in the wage package.</font>
