This has been burning me up for awhile: I was standing behind a "young" guy at the US customer service booth in the DCA gates a few weeks ago. He was angry he didn't get upgraded when the flight had F open for upgrades. The CSR told him they don't don't upgrade people in "jeans, t-shirts and baseball hats." He had all three on. But when my wife and I got seated in F, I saw people with all 3 too. Granted, he wore his hat sideays and it didn't have a preppy Gap style. Is it all in how you wear it? I guess so.
