Airlines give their employees discretion in many areas. You’re naive if you think upgrades are an area at any airline where employees have a lot of discretion. They don’t because the frequent flyers depend on a certain honesty about the upgrade priority and process. You’ll be taking the bus if you only want to fly U.S airlines that take bribes for upgrades.
