mauld:

Your trick is that although you fly out of a major CO hub, you fly to cities dominated by other airlines. I'm sure if you were flying EWR to IAH, especially on a Mon. A.M. or a Fri. P.M., you'd find a much more crowded FC cabin!

BTW, talk about empty FC seats! On a Copa flight from LIM to PTY two months ago, there were a grand total of 2 of us in FC, yet the Coach section was packed! Guess there aren't too many Inca Indians who are Elite!

They did allow an elderly Inca Indian lady, using a walker, to use the FC lavatory. If I had been Gold, instead of Silver, I would have insisted that she was my "companion" and they should upgrade her as such! I would have loved to see this woman's face as she experience FC on Copa, which incidentially was excellent!
