PremEx... you are right on the money.

Frequent is defined as doing something a number of times a week, month, year. I don't think someone who buys a first class ticket
twice a year for thousands of dollars would
qualify as "frequent."

And frequent flyers should get their rewards,
like higher ranking on the upgrade list!
We are giving these airlines our hard earned
money so we should get some compensation, like the occassional upgrade.

I would be disappointed if airlines went on a revenue basis. My company does not like to spend a lot of money on ANYTHING so the business office is told to look for the best deal (or ask the Travel show host or me
how to get the best fares and hotel rates!)
