Does everything on FT have to turn into class warfare?
It is what it is.

Upgrades on international flights are into BE seats that would otherwise remain empty.

A PM getting an upgrade with an RU just means that someone who would have been higher on the list didn't get it.

At least with SWUs, a PM using one (possibly) had to pay more.
