Why would I ever feel shame?
I EARNED that seat by spending thousands of mine and my companies dollars every year. I never did MR's I got CP status the right way. I complied with the rules and hardly ever complained except on here. When US was at the brink and even up until recently I would wait as late as I could get away with before booking travel so as to increase the revenue to US.
That has now officially changed. I now have the entire contract of carriage printed out in my bag along with the Customer Commitment and I fully intend to hold their feet to the fire on EVERYTHING!
US Management has made is decisions and I've made mine. So guilt sitting in 2C? Not in this lifetime. Tell Dougie to stock up on the Gin and Tonics and to keep that snack basket full, cause I'm here for the duration.
