Only pejorative is you choose it to be.
The AC Bottom Feeders of old were a proud bunch.

My reference to Bottom Feeder here is those of us who buy a cheaper than business class fare, upgrade it for free, subjective but not pejorative, and use all the perks suck as a swanky lounge restaurant.

Ironic part is we are debating something that will never happen!!!
