Agree.

Has anyone here marched up to an AIRLINE check-in clerk and offered him/her $20 for a better seat or an upgrade? Of course not. WHY .. what is the difference????????/

This is BRIBERY, pure and simple.

In darkest Africa it is part of the way things are done, but not the USA surely?

$100.00 went a very long way in the PAA Clipper Club. Sorry, Glen, to burst your bubble. BTW, I never considered it a "bribe" but a Xmas gift. There is a distinction, you know.
