Should the government be allowed to steal seats at sports events because they don't all sell out? Should it be allowed to steal food from grocery stores because sometimes there is a 2 for 1 sale? Should all assets that are not sold be subject to confiscation? Got any extra space in your home, Citizen?
Instead of feeble attempts to dispense personal insults, you might try thinking some of these things through before blathering on about how people you've never met supposedly view themselves.
It all boils down to money. The Gov gave the airlines a bailout and it asked for something in return. Quid Pro Quo. I learned that in middle school Spiff.
The money the Gov gave the airlines allows you to continue to earn your precious freaky flyer upgrades and continue to annoy the other pax with your incessant whining that you didn't get your cocktail before take-off.
Back to by binkie and stroking my pistol....in what *was* your first class seat.
