loomed in your everyday life? I respectfully request specifics. Not theory, or second hand information, or opinion of government programs. Specifics please. This thread started very specific. About how a Federal Air Marshal supposedly "stole" a first class upgrade seat. We have (with much entertainment) digressed from there.
Oh, and even though you don't buy into the program, we will still defend you if and when the time comes. And if and when the time comes we will do our best to bite our lip and not say " I told you so".
I'm sure your students are very lucky, as I am sure you put as much effort into their lesson plans, as you do this web board about your frequent flyer bennies.
Have a good day.

FWIW: ^
I do think a certain percentage (~50%) of
all LEO's, regardless of context, should not be there psychologically, I can see where the FAM's were a good idea on paper, but in implementation, bad. Better to have gone the Israeli approach. But given all that, as long as they're out ther, good for them!
