I was going to post the same thing. Unfortunately, I also do not see people of my "Medallion" status on this seat map.

The GMs in F are likely there as a result of being re-ticketed into Y due to IROPS.

I am thinking you have a Sheila E pic in FC.... that is a DM who is also a Net Jets FA... often confused with Sheena Easton as they both dated Prince and similar sounding names...

I had a real good Sugar Walls tie in, but I figured Canarise had a birdseye on this thread....

I "know" Sheila E and Sheena, sir, is no Sheila E.

I hate it when non revs get upgraded ahead of me, but I hate it even more when a Dutchman gets the upgrade ahead of me.

Cute.

Is this official confirmation that Silvers are not upgraded?

Did you mean to put quotes around "know"?

You referring to Goldmember or one of the illegitimate descendants of a certain British navigator who spent a lot of time in Amsterdam?

How about the mods add "joke thread" to title so we don't open this if we don't want sarcasm?

I agree too. But last time I raised the issue (successfully) I got skewered by the humorists among us.

Can we stop with the "hall monitor" syndrome while we're at it. I'm from the AA crowd, but found this pretty funny myself. Glad to know the AA forum isn't the only only one filled with hard-AA**es. Lighten up, we spend too much time on this d*mn site not to get some humorous threads.

I'm printing this out, and will ask the FA on my next 757 flight to explain what Shena is doing in 3A.

Insanity (n) - Doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results.
