I have benefitted from the connection to CW by getting CE. I have even this last week flow CE at my own expense ... yes, with my own money.
If it causes people so much grief/angst/anger, either fly ET or go LoCo ... and stop bloody whining.
Hear hear.
CE isn't great, especially if you need to work. But many people, like me, use it for "premium leisure" instead, and the associated TPs are more than welcome. In fact, if they took the TPs away, I'd stop travelling CE.
As it is, I quite like the empty middle seat, the general peace and quiet, and champagne with my breakfast.
If people don't like the product, then don't buy it.
