It's very clear to me why CO has the BF policy that it does. I fly to Asia once every month, and to London twice a month. On virtually every flight, there is someone who was on the waitlist but didn't get cleared for one of the few BF seats that are set aside as reward seats. Time after time, I see these folks whip out their credit card and pay thousands of dollars for one of the unsold BF seats.</font>
I have no way to say what you saw or didn't but in my year of traveling with CO to Platinum last year on mostly Europe/Asia routes, I have never seen this happen ever...not even once.
In the trip that I traveled BF to Asia, I didn't even see a BF concierge once.
I just find it very curious that you happen to see these things as if they happen all the time and yet I didn't witness a single one of these "folks".
