Well staff travel is going to go to S--t in a hurry
True, but at least now they're getting some $ from the passengers, rather than giving the upgrades for free. If a punter paying $$$ gets a J class seat before me, I can live with that. What I can't live with is presenting an ID J ticket, and getting downgraded to Y when a Y punter gets a free upgrade to J that they didn't pay for.
