Continental Airlines: Eliter Than Thou
When checking the status of his Continental Frequent Flyer miles, Upgrade Travel discovered that he had been subjugated to a cattle car with the rest of Continental's social refuse, a tattoo brand of 'Non-Elite' scrawled across the skin of his metaphorical forearm.
Rejected terminology for Continental Airlines' base level Frequent Flyers?

Riff-raff
Reject

And that's just to get you rolling. Come up with your own!

Now, the Star-Belly Sneetches
Had bellies with stars.
The Plain-Belly Sneetches
Had none upon thars.
Those stars weren't so big.
They were really so small
You might think such a thing
wouldn't matter at all.
But, because they had stars,
all the Star-Belly Sneetches
Would brag, "We're the best kind of Sneetch
on the beaches."
With as many RJ's as they fly, how can you tell?
When you actually fly Continental, they separate the "elites" from the "non-elites" with a separate line and a swanky carpet for the "elites."
I said to a check-in agent once, "I'll be over here, in the non-elite/less-than/not good enough line." She said, "Oh, it's not like that!" and I said "Oh, but it is. The elites are physically separated from us less-thans."
