1. When you are a platinum stuck in coach and you see the gold one sitting in F you have your legitimate right to be pissed.
2. Eye candy!
3. Let the baggage handlers know who to steal from
4. Like uniforms in the military, all silvers must bow down to golds and platinums, offer them their lives, and be willing to take the bullet. Golds must do the same for all platinums.
5. Little RFID chips are hidden inside to see when we fly on other airlines - then all of a sudden our upgrade rates drop.
