hehe, mrs767er, I do think it's fair to say that the employee is the one who made the trip happen and should be able to get the better seat. In practice, for some reason when we both list together she's above me on the check-in list. I think it may be alphabetical as a tiebreaker (same last name, her first name starts with A, and mine with or maybe based on time of check-in, which could be done alphabetically when we check us both in through the app. Anyway, since she's above me in the list, they always seem to give her the better seat!

Mig, not carbonated. This is still America, afterall! Also, sadly no pineapple at the Mcdonalds anymore, as nice as that sounds. I also would have loved to have a chance to fly in the golden age of open flights, awesome meals in coach, and people actually dressing up to fly (by the way, I totally rock wearing a suit :-D ). Then again, maybe it would be a hard transition to make to today's nonrev situation.
