NRSA's board last
For what it's worth, I'll be the third employee to chime in - as I've pointed out many, many times in the past: nonrevs, buddies, etc. do not get on the plane until after all revenue passengers are accommodated. Nonrevs don't get upgraded until after all eligible passengers are upgraded.
(Pilots and FAs who are deadheading, which is company-paid travel, are positive space. Deadheading differs from commuting, which is voluntary. But occasionally commuters have to cough up the bucks and pay for a full-fare seat.)
Now dozens of posters will jump in and tell us we're all wrong, they saw an employee sitting in first while they sat in the back. This is why I rarely post any more - I really don't like beating my head against a wall, and I will leave it to my colleagues to keep on posting.
