If I had a confirmed seat in F and was bumped for whatever reason I wouldn't be pleased. I think it is similar to to some of the 'switching seats' thread. If people ask politely, many FTers are more than willing to give up their seat. However, if someone else just plonks themselves in your seat, regardless of whether you are the president or a random person, the person whose seat it is has a right to be POd IMHO.
I agree completely as well. I would not give up my seat for someone who is fighting in a country where so many civillians (some of whom are family members of my close friends) have been killed, IMHO uneccesarily.
Even then, I think it is fair that you would also give up your seat to a doctor, police officer, firefighter etc. if you are willing to give it up to someone in the military. On a side note - in such situations would US refund the money / miles to the man who gave up his seat?
Cheers,

Okay I think we need to close this thread. I was only trying to point out that one of your fellow FF was a nice guy while another was a B*&%H and that some of the GA who have blood in the war want to do something nice.
