If you guys were as important as you think you are, you wouldn’t be sitting in row 27.

Since when is trying to get work done while traveling make you important?

Also since when does being in row 27 make you unimportant? I fly in economy like the rest of my employees because I'm not a self important jackass.

Sorry, where I’m from we (my boss, the CEO, and I) call it a travel day. It can wait until we get to the hotel. Good leaders don’t act like they’re on the front line firing squad.

lol that kinda spending is for suckers. We pay a high school junior $100 bucks a month to deliver Ms. Gee Junior to the front door. We just gonna keep driving the 2016 that's paid for.

So i learned you can photoshop whatever you want into your boarding pass. I add priority even when flying spirit and go through first class security line. Then always have boarding group 2. And then. I remove the pesky. No baggage line.
When they scan your pass they just looking for green or red at that point they don't read anything. My goal is simply overhead space for my stuff. And easy boarding.

Sounds a lot like theft

Life is easier when you DGAF

You of all people talking about flexing? frick off clown

The thing about airport status is that it's often disconnected from real-world status.

I've seen status dorks who act like entitled douchebag royalty in an airport and who revert to being middle class and uncomfortable in their own skin at a local bar.

Up in the Air is obviously about this (living two different lives) but they should make a sequel where the protagonist wears Merrill sandals with socks and has a Targus backpack.

I know of a Congressmen that played the big, loud mouth, "Do you know who I am" card at the ticket desk

I was in the PreCheck line at MSY right after the governor's election last year. Edwards got up to the guy checking tickets and was told he had to get out of line and go through the General Boarding line. I was right behind him and could hear every word. He said "The State Police usually bring me through this line." It was apparent the TSA guy had Zero idea who he was and just said "Yep. It's the line over there."

Edwards just lowered his head and walked away. It was pretty damn funny that the dude just got reality slapped right across the face.
