I just got off of a flight, it was about 40 minutes in the air, and there were people who paid to upgrade to 'first class' for a 40 minute flight.

I'd rather be peasant class than so weak that I couldn't stand 40 minutes sitting 6 inches closer to the person next to me.

How do you know they paid? When I was a frequent flier I'd always get upgraded on short flights because... No one paid for first class on those flights but the airline could consume an upgrade.

Plus iirc it looks better to the airline to have first filled up, so the cattle class see it as something to aspire to
