Just thought you should be careful at who you "think" is nonrev in first class just because they have:
1) A uniform resembling an airline outfit
2) Crew tags attached to luggage
3) An ID on a lanyard resembling an "airline" ID
I work for a company that requires me to travel with all of that and guess what. They pay full fare same day of travel fares while we commute to our assigned aircraft. We accrue all of the miles and we are generally elite status on more than one airline. If I don't get aqn upgrade I use my miles for them.
We fly strictly corporate airplanes and to date my company alone has over 2000 pilots that airline to and from work every week on "commercial" airlines.
Another one of those check the mirrors before throwing the stones
