Not bent......BROKEN!
There is always someone willing to take that risk to win a few brownie points or bragging rights on staff travel and they DO get found out.
Follow the rules ....no problem.
Dress correctly and smile nicely at the right time and you MIGHT get an upgrade or ON when others might not get on.
NEVER tell other pax that you get this benefit.
Don't complain when you get offloaded mid trip and it costs you heaps until you get back on.
Back to the thread perhaps?.......
