At least I'm not the only one thinking along the same lines! Maybe I'll meet her in prison while serving time for wire fraud! Or on the bus when we're both banned forever from flying!?

If one of my friends has a 10% chance of actually using the ticket, is that still fraud, per biggie fries?

And as for karma, involving Usair??? Really??? BRING IT BABY! I'm harming no one, and they continue to screw customers, especially the ones that bring them the most business, and somehow karma's gonna get me? For wanting a little extra room in some of the tightest coach seats in the industry???? They WANT it to be miserable in coach, to increase the likelihood you'll upgrade to FC, which boosts their revenue. Don't kid yourself.

Anyway, sincerely appreciate the insight from people who took the time to comment, and will let everyone know if I follow through with it, what happens.
