I believe British Airways feels it's more important to maintain the

fill them up the unsold ones with, say, the highest status frequent
fliers who are on the flight like most airlines would do.

That sounds very typically British.


I will take that as a compliment.

'As most American airlines would do'.


NO, they would not.
Most US airlines do not normally give away international upgrades without
some kind of payment, unless Y is oversold.

Don't any of you people fly?

Commercial? Only if I have to. GA? Any time I possibly can.

The pricey seats pay for the flight. Everyone else just about covers
their share of the fuel costs.

Not true for transatlantic flights. Often the cargo alone covers the entire
cost of the flight, and the passengers are pure profit, even in economy class.
That's how BA can afford to fly empty aircraft (empty of passengers, that is).
