I am about to fly with my least favourite airline. Splew tri raza. At check in I presented my frequent flyer card (I am at level two with this lot) thinking it would count for something.
As is my wont, I asked for maximum leg room (remember, I am 1.91 m tall) and at least an aisle seat. As he turned his back on me to attend to something else, cleary more important than me, he retorted with a muttered, I can't promise maximum leg room.
He tapped away at his keyboard and then handed me my boarding card.
Being the old cove that I am I said with a lilt, is that a good seat? With sneer he replied, it's an aisle.
I waited for the boarding pass for the second leg of my journey home. Nothing. Not even, have a nice flight as he parried my request for that pass with, you'll get that in London.
Thank you. Goodbye. I said.
I will be interested to see who got the extra legroom seats as I was only about the tenth passenger to check in.
I thought frequent flyer schemes were two way affairs:
Someone flies frequently, in a loyal way, with an airline
The airline is grateful
Apparently not. This sort of treatment rankles.

Even I was shocked to see that there were TWO bulk head seats that were unoccupied on the flight.
If I had been rude or aggressive or given the desk jockey any possible reason to deprive me of such a seat I would not have written this post or comment.
I put it down to bad service following bad training.
You see why I think this airline is not worth that much.
