Anybody have a update on the status of the Marine? The Captain?

I know that there's at least one poster on this thread who would like to disprove my theory.

Recently I've had a few flight attendants that refused to upgrade some JS'ers at my request because they said "we might offend" some upgrades from coach.....you know, the folks who pay $85 for a ticket and buy a toaster, thereby earning enough points to make them "elite platinum gold diamond" status. Meanwhile, the employees who are busting their butts to make the airline work, are stuck in the rear of the plane in middle seats enjoying their "vacation passes", which are, in all accuality, WORTHLESS. Funny thing is though, is that these same FA's will GLADLY sit up front if offered the same seats. Go figure.... The CA is to be commended. I'll ALWAYS take care of the military when the opportunity is there to do so.

Military guys should all be automatically upgraded just because they serve. They should board first and everyone else who walks past them during boarding should say, "thank you."

From the outside looking in here as far as 121 ops go, but isn't that your call, not the FAs?

That depends on the airline. There are still some airlines that place a modicum of value on Captain's Authority.

Correction:

There are still some pilots that place a modicum of value on Captain's Authority.

These pilots can be found @ all airlines, though they appear to be dwindling based on what I've read on this thread.
