Unlike his blog, the responses to the LinkedIn article were overwhelmingly in disagreement, especially on the seat recline issue. Some comments went so far as to label the article as trash, and many wondered why LI would even bother posting it.
He probably wants his readers to cut up their FF cards and CCs so that there is less competition for the awards offered....he wants to be the one in F or Business, and the hoi polloi is messing up his upgrades.
