IMHO, elitism sucks! What is inherently wrong with buying the least expensive fare [offered by the carrier, not the passenger] and then using hard earned miles to upgrade? Why do some of my fellow flyers somehow perceive this as a threat? Flyertalk is a community and communities are, or should be, about sharing. How about stepping back, taking a deep breath and sharing the wealth? Hoarding the seats up front seems somehow tawdry to me.
