If they let everyone who has the chance freely "upgrade" themselves to more expensive seats at no cost, no one will pay the more expensive price and will just wait to see if they can get it for free on the plane. I've got a lot of issues with airlines, but this isn't one of them. If you want an upgrade, you pay for…

It's not, but you should still ask before doing so. I highly doubt this woman's account that she just shrugged and went back to her assigned seat when called out, but I also know that if she had BOTHERED to ask (once they were above 10K feet), the FA probably would have just handed her the exit row literature, asked…

I've been flying ~ 100k miles per year for work, for ten years or so up until about a year ago.

But if everyone realized they could get the upgraded seat for free, no one would ever pay for it in advance.

So you are telling me the girls team actually had more balls in this situation... Interesting

Or how about actually signing up for their frequent flyer plan and earning status, or at least attempt to?

If the players had wanted to wear NYPD shirts, I doubt they would have been kicked out for making the inverse "political statement."

Do what you're told and shut up: The american dream.

It could cost the airline money in the future if other people who would buy the upgraded seats decide to avoid buying it if it means they can just grab one of those seats once the plane takes off.

Yeah, uhm, that does sound awful. First, he could be abusing her in a variety of ways that haven't become public. Many victims of abuse return to their abusers again and again and again, and the most dangerous time is when a victim attempts to leave.

He's in hiding with LaTavia, LeToya, and Farrah. They have a bunker in the mountains, where they are stockpiling food, weapons, and harmonized vocals.

"Soon," whispers LaTavia, menacingly stroking a CD single of "Survivor" with one magenta fingernail.

"Our time is coming," LeToya agrees. She polishes the stock on her…

You can barely see 70% of Beyoncé in that picture. I wonder if anyone has heard from the photographer since the day that photo was taken.

It could only have been more Cleveland if a guy on the other line was asking him about some whitewalls.

Yes, clearly the only answer available is that "people" in Hollywood are paid randomly. That makes perfect sense. Wage gap? What wage gap? That's obviously a less likely proposition than that Hollywood exists in a rarefied vacuum where the playing field on salary negotiations are absolutely, utterly equal and Adams…

Lesbian exMormon here. My Mormon credentials consist of a storied pioneer heritage on my paternal AND maternal sides (now including famous polygamists!), all the youth awards you get for being a good little Mormon girl, TWO degrees from Brigham Young University, and much, much more! I came out to my (very very…

I remember showing that Madonna video to my mother when it came out and having to explain everything.

Aw, shucks. I put my Chuck E. costume on one gigantic foot at a time, just like everyone else.

Everytime I see Rae Sremmurd's name I figure it has to mean something if it's pronounced a certain way or that it's an anagram of something but so far I haven't figured it out. The best I can do on the Anagram front is Mare Murders.

It's like he's the second coming of Richard Lawson. I'm in lurve.
