I guess you missed the point... Yes, an auction is based on ability to pay, but AT LEAST IT'S FAIR TO ALL.... everyone has an EQUAL chance to bid on seats. It would be out in the open, and fully disclosed. It's not perfect, but at least it's FAIR to all. The way it is now, you are all parties to LEGALLY discriminating against people. How does that make you feel: you get to step on non-frequent flyers, left out in the dark about their rights, who may be in a rush to get to a funeral, for your benefit, so you can get to your supposedly critical meeting a day early. Until the time airlines openly disclosing their so-called "PECKING ORDER" before tickets are sold, they are all guilty of admittedly LEGAL discrimination. I don't know how you people were raised, but even if discrimination is LEGAL, I still think it's wrong, and won't be a part of it. I guess the rest of you don't have a problem with that... And wouldn't it be interesting to know how many of you actually pay for your OWN tickets, rather than have your employer pay for the tickets, which are tax right-offs, which means, again, as usual, the LITTLE people are paying for your tickets, who you knowingly step on for your own personal selfish benefit. Shame on you. </font>
Hey flyrights,
Were you by any chance director of marketing for Aeroflot in the USSR days?
