Awwww we have a hater. I guess you must have been left in the back way too many times. Sorry . ---------

Hater?? I rather think it's a matter of self respect. I gave up brown-nosing, in kindergarten. But I do derive a degree of pleasure watching Plats, competing with each other, rush up to the gate agent to whisper sweet nothings into his/her ear, almost going into heat, in a desperate attempt to score a couple of free glasses of wine and a bigger bowl of pasta.

But, since I'm a lowly riff-raff Silver. I have no expectations, and thus am thankful for my upgrades, rather than expecting them. The only difference between you and me is that you are desperate for an upgrade, and I am grateful for them. I dont go short of breath driving to the airport without an EUA, or seeth at CO when I hear "First has checked in full" or wonder which scum Plats have beat me to the draw. I'm actually glad when you get your upgrade, you probably even deserve it, and I even smile when your type occasionally leave one for me.

Just as I suspected, the mystery is finally solved. Silver Elites hate Plats. I think you guys would get more sympathy by admitting it.
