On a flight from JFK to SFO with 16 people on the upgrade list. Lady at the gate decided to go backward through the list, so people numbered 16-11 got the upgrades instead of 1-6. F..U... American.

My wife and I are both Alaska MVP gold. She has been gold for about five years more than I. It always looks like they order the upgrade list by status, then last name. Since mine starts with an A and hers with a W, guess who always gets picked for the upgrade? I would think she should get it 🤔

Is that even allowed?

Fake news

Cross market travels.

That exact same thing happened to me with AA at LAX

Late list promos are jumpseat employees. Never 5 in back of list. Ever. Fake story is fake

Wow...out of ten responses like 7 of you are calling me a liar. So cynical. Yes, Slalom has a group of about 800 people that travel frequently. And yes, I’m aware this is against AA policy, and I plan to point it out to them and get some points from the experience. But this did, in fact, happen. So chill out people.

You chill
