Yea, that post/poster doesn't represent the viewpoints of most of us here, who actually do live under bridges. Please disregard.

What is this living under bridges tomfoolery? I live in a van down by the river, and I'm classy, dammit.

I completely agree with this current UA SOP, having recently run into an issue on a CO BF flight with this issue (at this point J.Edward rolls his eyes because he knows the story).

AC uses the order of status method in-cabin, and it not only confuses people who don't know the system, but it is also visible second-classing.

If you live under a bridge you just wait for the rain, then you have a flowing water shower!

Now back on topic, who on both sides will be cast out into the ranks of the homeless?

It isn't your airline. The faster you realize that the better off you'll be.

My term was plural & you need not feel excluded (or included)

I've earned the right to part ownership in many ways

I've spent 50 years in the game

The soups on CO are quite good for being served on an airline. ^ They have a loyal following for a reason.

Unless you are a shareholder you don't have any ownership stake. Unless you are a shareholder with a significant stake you don't have a meaningful ownership stake.

Being a customer for 50 years just makes you a long-time customer.
