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.
Prison is full of plenty of people who said "I'm harming no one". And even if you aren't, and you do get away with it, do you want to be that kind of person? If you have to ask here, you already know it's wrong, why don't you just do the right thing for the right thing's sake? Trying to blame US Airways doesn't absolve you of doing something you shouldn't be doing.

I might add that a couple of years ago I thought about doing something that was also wrong and asked about it on FT. For a while I was defensive until I realized that it WAS wrong so I didn't do it. I'm a better person today because of my actions, don't you want to be the best kind of person you can be too?
