We've bribed attendants with lunch and or chocolates from the kiosks. 65/35 achieved ratio to date.

Posting while travelling, cool.
Balls, no upgrade for me. [gohome]
I have decided that airlines need to adopt the following policies:
1. before boarding the plane, you will be required to proceed through an obstacle course with your roll on luggage. If you bump into anything, your bag will be checked.
2. At the end of the obstacle course, you will be required to lift your luggage into am overhead compartment. If you are unable to do this without dropping your bag, falling over, crushing other bags or ask for assistance to lift your bag, your bag will be checked.
3. If you smell like ass, BO, cigarettes, cologne, perfume, have greased back douche hair, are actually a douche, or fail to reply to the flight attendant when they greet you as you board the plane, you will be checked and will not receive beverage service in the cargo bay.
4. A "beanie" is also grounds for you being checked. That is, assuming you aren't also wearing a hoodie with the hood pulled over your "beanie".
5. If you are unable to count and can not locate your aisle, or pass it because you thought "5 comes after 12", just keep walking off the back of the plane.
Now, who's with me in getting airlines to adopt these?
I think that's why they invented first class in the first place.
BC: I know that my carryon is a bit on the big side for a carry on. Knowing this, I play the game: If the ladies get a small carryon item, like a purse, then so do I. The difference is this: I ALWAYS gate-check my carry-on, and my small personal bag is actually medically required equipment that I HAPPEn to have stuffed my ipad into. I gate-check, then watch my movie, read my book, etc.
I'm with you on the rules. I think the obstacle course is the best part.
While I don't disagree, and have many other rules I don't feel like posting at the moment, if you are Gold and board early, what's the beef?
That said, UA flyers will know what I'm talking about when I say the the Gold flyers are PISSED that they have to board in priority 2 lane with us lowly Silvers and everyone that has a UA CC entitling priority 2 boarding. I actually now fall into that last group until I get my status back (missed it by >< that much last year).
We just say very loud. That SHOULD HAVE BEEN CHECKED IN YOU RUDE IDIOT. That usually prompts an attendant to handle it. The spouse and I are not friendly sky people.
