Love Dan's reply  ;D

It’s the best possible reply.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

Lol, that's a classic example of "Please share all the secret deals with me, but once you do, please don't share them with anyone else."
Yea, plain jealousy. He's paying 1/10th of the fare and complaining that some people were able to pay 1/20th.

Not even going to start with the many other pathetic comments on the Rubashkin post, but here's one.

No comment on the comment
But @Dan couldn’t have said a better answer!

Fair warning - Any PMs sent in response to forum posts are fair game for ridicule in public.

Not really, he's paying what he should, I understand his point of view.

The AF price mistake is not the same as complaining about award tickets having access. (ie new AC lounge in Toronto)

I still don't agree with him. His when point is that La Premier should be exclusive and that all these people booking makes it not nearly as exclusive as before; that's not a valid argument. Let's say he booked on the 777, does he have the right to expect that not all four seats will be taken and get upset if they are, regardless of whether or not these tickets are honored? Of course not. He also shouldn't care about how many other seats are taken or not taken on any other AF flight if he's not on it, that has absolutely no affect on him whatsoever.

+1. To sum it up, he complained that a lower class of person, who cannot afford to fly like this typically, is going to now. Those seats will most likely be filled regardless, just not with the same people.

He booked his flight with points, how high class of a person can he himself be already?

Agreed, but my point is that he's trying to exclude the people who just "chap deals". He has a point, but in this scenario, I don't think he's right. When I pay extra for business on SW, and 25 people who are suddenly "disabled" board and take all the fist choice seats, that really pisses me off.

starts here, and a few others. Not sure why @Dan bothers answering, as someone who actually takes the time to post such a comment, will not be swayed, convinced, or admit the validity of anything other than his or her own thinking (though I have to admit I am just as guilty sometimes 'round here, but expect better from @Dan):

Why do you expect better from me than you?
Surely as my elder you should be wiser. And yet... ;)
