are we throwing out these 90-99% as a percentage of leisure travelers? or all flyers?
take a swiss a330: 22% of the seats are premium. say J is at 70% capacity and F is at 50%.... its still a 15% that sit in the nice chairs .
not that exclusive of a group. dont think its reserved for the creme de la creme.
if you bring enough value to the company, you absolutely deserve to fly in comfort. and if not, then to be compensated sufficiently to support upgrades at your discretion.
if neither of those are met, then theres real grounds to look elsewhere
