I was on 737-max Hawaii-LAX flight yesterday, in E+ as there were zero upgrades and nothing to even purchase - the guy sitting next to me, with his wife, is a lifetime 1k and we were complaining about the lack of upgrades, WFBF, etc - but the main topic was that both of us have gotten used to sitting in the back and the benefits of first really are not worth the substantial costs (unless given to us for free) and even when (if?) things settle down and there is more availability - has UA (and probably others) mortally injured the geese that lay the golden eggs - specifically, those who previously bought/flew J will accept Y? While I travel on OPM for work - there are only certain circumstances that I can justify buying up - and that is now rarely an option - and I am not sure if I would even pay for it anymore?
