The Humpty Dance and No Upgrades...
First off - I take the blame for booking an afternoon flight out of Atlanta on a Monday - As a mere silver, I wouldn't get an upgrade and figured I might as well spend some extra time at home anyway.
Day starts off well enough in FLL. Expected a two hour layover in ATL to PHF. Two hour layover with another hour delay pretty much just sucked - But not nearly as much as the attitude of the FA's on the aircraft.
Apparently the mechanical delays caused a different aircraft to be dispatched and upon boarding I noticed it was a two class aircraft - Upgrade maybe? (A rare occurrence for me these days as there were 6 vacant seats) I politely asked the female FA if there would be any upgrades to which she replys "I don't know why they didn't offer them" and walks away. Still thinking... maybe.. just maybe..
Gate agent walks to the end of the jet way and the FA tells her "This lady is already asking why she didn't get upgraded" (Not exactly what I asked...), the agent says "Well, if she's a medallion I don't have a problem with her moving." To which the FA replies "She can sit where she is." and starts ridiculing me (I can hear her and now the 2nd FA from my seat). The second FA now proceeds to mock passengers in general who want upgrades and starts doing the "Humpty Dance" - Trust me.. Not really a pretty site.
Seriously, not getting the upgrade wasn't a big deal for me, but was it really necessary to ridicule me in front of other passengers?
