All you have to hear, just once, is that they left DUB for PHL less than a week ago with only 13 passengers on a 203 passenger a/c yet no available upgrades or DM seats were available...and most reasonably experienced and intelligent people switch to other carriers.

The really funny part is that some people define those organizational behaviors as both ethical and reasonable.
