if anyone could halve their time on the 100, I would say that’s an excellent improvement. I’m sure Usain Bolt would agree
To stay on topic, the policy is there for whoever it appeases. Whether you have higher status, want to pay the fee or wish to simply wait and choose your seat 24hrs before the flight. Whilst there’s lots at play, paying for a seat is a bone of contention because of the original fare but also it’s connotations with the low cost model. People automatically assume, this isn’t easyJet, so why am I paying for a seat? But there are plenty of examples when you pay for many extras in luxury industries. You may not agree with that but it is what it is and life progresses.
You don’t expect to buy one of the best mares for a flat race track, say, Royal Ascot and get Frankie Dettori to ride for free do you?
