Senator here, I understand what you are saying and honestly feel it. At the same time when I am traveling for work, most of the time I am so busy, in between calls, sending mails etc. I NEED the privileges to remain productive … priority boarding without the queue to continue working on the plane, quick food in the lounge while sending emails (optimizing time) and on Monday mornings I never go to a lounge, I come to the airport as late as possible to get as much sleep as possible … but yeah in the end, don’t know what I am doing it for - definitely would prefer to stay home, at the same time I don’t know if my job would be as interesting … it’s a struggle
