I fly several times a year from SFO to HKG by Cathay Pacific.
I never able to get seat assignments.
Ever if I get to the airport 6 hours ahead of flight, I am always stuck with
terrible seats.

Somebody told me Cathay Pacific insiders give out good choice seats as favor
to friends, and get seat assignments weeks ahead of flight. And sometimes,
even sell choice seats and pocket the money themselves.

Any truth to this corruption practice?


No. You just have lousy luck
