A Modest Proposal
 

I propose that Delta institute a fee, say $20, to allow Coach pax to use a lavatory in First.

Oh boy. Pass the popcorn, this is going to be good.

And divide the money collected among the passengers in First:D

I don't think a FC lav pass is needed. I have been on many DL flights where Y pax use the F class lav and nothing is ever said.

Charge the FA's $10 and the pax $10 since the FA's so willingly and knowingly allow such use.

Precisely. Telling pax not to do something, especially where the only risk is being stopped and told again, doesn't work. Telling them they're welcome to if they pay $20 will have at least some of them not wanting to risk having to pay.

I don't think this goes far enough. I propose that Delta rearrange the cabin en route on every flight. It's obviously correct that FC pax get to board first and make all the coach pax slink past them to reach their cattle pen. It's equally obvious that the FC pax are properly lifted airborne at the front of the plane earlier than the folks in back.

What needs to happen is to have the FC cabin relocated to the back of the plane midflight to ensure that the premium pax also have the privilege of reaching the ground before coach. Additionally, this would reinforce the fact that coach pax are inferior by making them wait as the FC pax walk through the now-forward coach cabin to leave the plane first.

As a final touch, pax would find that the seats have been rearranged, but the overheads have not. FC pax can leisurely stroll to the front of the plane where their carry-on bags are waiting, while most coach pax will find that they must force their way down the aisle contra-flow to reach their carry-ons several rows behind them.

Maybe DL could add access to the F lav to the Have One on Us coupon for medallions who don't get upgrades.:D

The fee goes up to $40 to the coach passengers that crop dust the F cabin while queuing in the aisle.

DUMB IDEA

I've sat in FC my share of times, and have no problem with someone coming from the front part of coach to use the FC lav's when they're not being used and the carts are out in coach.

The OP should think about this situation the next time he/she isn't upgraded.

$100 for a BizElite/International flight, since that seems to be the only time the no-cabin-crossing policy is strictly enforced. Just mount one of those handy credit card scanners to the curtain.

(in before the lock :D)

You may want to switch your sarcasm detector to [ON] the next time that you log into FlyerTalk. :rolleyes: ;)

Maybe they can put premium tp in F also, and charge 10c per sheet!

And here I thought the thread title telegraphed the OP's tone.

Seriously, though, I do wish that FAs would more consistently deploy the curtain between F and Y to discourage aft passengers from venturing forward.
