They paid for their F seat, why does someone else getting the seat next to them for free cause the buyer harm? When I'm sleeping on TATLs, do they hand signs above us for the provenance of our seat?
People pay all kinds of different fares. Is the guy who paid full F the king of first class able to look down on all the Z fares, corporate deals and upgrades?
I wasn't aware there was a caste system in first class.....
