Nice hyperbole. How exactly is this "stealing"? It's a United policy, United is apparently fine with it. If United has a problem with it, they are free to change it. And of course, you don't consider that govt employees are taxpayers too, right?

Do you feel the same outrage if it's a 1P flying on a discounted corporate-negotiated Y fare and getting an upgrade?
