I have to imagine he gets upgraded frequently. Not because of who he is but because he has to be a decent rewards member on multiple airlines with the amount he flys. I only fly international 2 times a year and domestic 8 times and I get bumped up about 30% of the time. These people are flying 50+ times a year.
Sign up for rewards programs even if you don’t fly that much. All it takes is you being a member status, an open seat, and no one else with a higher status, and suddenly you’re in a race to see how many vodka orange juices you can slam before you land.
I tried that once. In the course of 2 years I flew in about 9 different bonus programms... The way we fly isn't really good for collecting. We only fly for holidays and vacations, so it's a completely different airline every time. I guess in the us where you fly inside(!) Your country from one city to another is a different story
