I actually feel sorry for you that you think a 665 mile flight on an MD90 is worth an extra 158 dollars for a drink and a banana.
Last year I spent $500 to get 15K MQM's so I would say I got a better deal than $158 for 600.
Glad you feel so superior to me. In addition to the complaints in this very thread, there's a whole other thread of PMs (I'll even include myself) and DMs kvetching about the decrease in UGs as a result of FCM:

If you think all I'm buying is a drink and a banana on an M90, you clearly didn't read my post. The collective benefits of a FC ticket on those days, that route, and for my particular needs/preferences is worth well more than $158.
