Life is more than sitting in a tin tube
If that's your thing than great, but I also think that many super elites have "failed" in life. (natural normal meaning)***I am using your definition, not mine. (saying that if one doesn't spend their life flying that they are a failure). That's the glass half full half empty view.
And you are the one who started this judging comment. Enjoy life in a tin tube by yourself feeling superior to everyone else.
What's next? Lets judge income level.
I'd love to have a go at that. See how ridiculous that sounds? Mr. DYKWIA...
Hear hear! I think people who post garbage like the OP did (maybe it was tongue in cheek??) lack happiness in all or most other aspects of their life, are not truly "elite" in the traditional socio-economic sense, and so they fly around on their company's dime and obtaining SE is the only "socio economic" status they will ever achieve. Oh, and they like to be jerks about it. The class system is perpetuated in airlines but without the class.
Sad, sad, sad the kind of behavior FF tiers bring out in people.
