Anyway, as I said in his comments:
IME, AC typically has cheaper business class tickets from DC to Asia than any other carrier. So I buy them whether I am using my own or my employer's money. So their strategy is working on me!
Selfishly, having gone airline agnostic, I hope that's the future of flying: fewer upgraders and more 'reasonably' priced business class fares.
Not according to Gary's argument. Because somewhere in there, he'll figure out how to talk about airlines making money on the margins. And he always seems to be right there in that self-defined margin. A fine economic theory that he seems to think means "give me what I want, because you'll make money on it."
