Adding a bit of insult to injury, airline employees more frequently end up in coach seats on domestic flights, a grim prospect for many of them. That is because first-class cabins are full of frequent fliers who have been upgraded from coach and business travelers actually paying recently reduced first-class fares.
Yeah, it's "insulting" that, when flying for free, they'd give the first class seats to people who actually paid a fare. Cry me a river.
