Sounds like the flight is fully booked.

Kinda hard to have upgrades available for an entire team.

Well, that's kind of what you get when you fly economy.
First of all, it's bad enough there are two economy classes, that's just absurd.

But then if you're in first class you get all this special treatment and shit, it's so unnecessary for anyone flying. I got upgraded to it once and had to listen to the woman next to me complaining (from a window seat) that she had to look at the galley for the whole flight. You're on an airplane, you're either going to be looking at a galley, lavatory, or the head of the person in front of you like wth do you expect.

In order to upgrade 7 people to first class, Delta would have to remove 7 passengers who actually paid for first class. Upgrades are not something you ask for or expect. So basically fuck these people

This. These guys do deserve a first class ride home for their accomplishments, but not to kick paying passengers out of first-class seats to do so. There weren't any upgrades available for them at that time. That's not anyone's fault.

If the CEO's want to do that they can offer it themselves. It's not up to Delta to force them. That would be a remarkably stupid move.

They subsidize cheaper seats for the rest of us. If they want to pay x amount extra for first class, I'm glad

Plus I bet Delta did something fancy / cool for them on the flight.

I flew Lufthansa on my birthday and one of my co-workers told a flight attendant it was my birthday and they brought out wine and served it to ... well, quite a few of the passengers >_>.

So, you should have to fill out a bio, so they can determine your worth, should they need to boot you?

That's perfectly acceptable, but to hold an airline accountable for not upgrading a full team to nonexistent first class seats is moronic. This is literally the problem to the react before reading news cycle. Derr teh evul arelean opressen our parrotriots! Oh wait a capacity booked plane was capacity booked. Whoa.

So they just asked for an upgrade free of charge? lol glad those entitled assholes got denied. THe olympics are a waste of time anyways, the sooner their egos deflate and they realize nobody gives a shit about them outside their silly sport they play once every 4 years the better for them. Gotta readjust to the real world.

No, they don't. Why does accomplishing something good mean that they now deserve free stuff from some unrelated entity?

They play it more than once every 4 years. They just only show you the Olympics. There are tournaments all the time that determine who GOES to the Olympics
