The act of nonrevving is not embarrassing.

Screeching about non getting on or not getting first class is what’s embarrassing. At no point in time has nonrevving been a guaranteed seat. It has ALWAYS been a game of roulette.

Nonrevving never came up once during my interview, nor did it ever come up in my personal calculus for taking this job. With how full flights are (even prior to COVID), it’s barely a perk. I treat it as a gamble, and when I have specific events to make it to, I buy a ticket like a normal person who is capable of making risk management decisions. I don’t go onto the internet and whine about seniority.
