Where do you draw the line then? The same people who say that it is a good thing for "random acts of kindness" to happen to them will be the first ones to jump down the same captain's throat when he upgrades his buddy Joe on the way to a fishing trip. And do you stop with the captain? What about the FA who pulls a passenger out of coach? Or the gate agent who assists in perpetuating the "employee class" legend?
Its all the same thing - namely rules being broken. If you think its ok when they are broken to benefit you, but scream loudly when they benefit someone else then you are a hypocrite of the highest order.
