I came into ATL on a red-eye recently, arriving quite a bit earlier than scheduled. I went to the gate for the earlier flight to FLL to see if I could standby for it. Plenty of availability, but I'd have to pay a change fee. FO's don't get it waived. So I'm now at my gate for my ticketed flight to FLL. the earlier flights has left and they are now asking for people willing to be bumped as the flight is oversold!! What a way to run an airline!

Lumping MM into the FO bucket sucks! I know there are probably a bunch of MMs, but are their really that many that we couldn't at least get the perks of GM? Another option would be if as MM your MQMs started at 25K each year, so if you get another 25K you would be GM.
