First Class Nightmare
Reddit user doctor-rumack wasn’t high on the corporate ladder but he had certainly earned the right to fly first-class. Too bad his boss didn’t agree. Luckily, when she tried to have him booted in first class, the lead flight attendant made her feel like she belonged in third class.
“A co-worker friend of mine was flying back from a sales conference in Vegas and he was able to upgrade to a first class seat.
We had this bratty sales VP that was on the same flight – she was the snobby, entitled type with a full time nanny and giant McMansion in the suburbs, and she generally treated people who worked for her like servants.
She sees him in a first class seat as she is making her way to coach and asks him how he got that seat (he used points to upgrade). As people are getting settled in, she makes her way back up to the first class cabin and asks to speak with the lead flight attendant.
She tells him that one of her underlings is sitting in first class, and that she needs to switch with him since she’s higher on the corporate ladder. The guy can’t believe what he’s hearing, but she won’t take no for an answer.
Finally he tells her she has to go back to her seat, or she will be escorted from the plane. She made a complete jerk of herself in front of the whole first class cabin.”
