Even beyond that, I'm not sure that the alleged harm - an alleged failure to upgrade per the published priority rules - would be legally cognizable, as the link between the alleged breach and the alleged harm is awfully tenuous. Further, OP was transported in exactly the class of service for which he paid.

Yes, the claim would almost certainly be tossed at the pleading stage, but that could easily cost $50-100k in fees, even without an appeal. Perhaps you are not familiar with what it costs to litigate these days.
