Emily, I can’t help but feel la little like this seems a bit classist?

How? What makes you think the hypothetical spring breaker isn't of a higher social/fiscal class?
-
I can’t help but value them equally since they both paid for a seat. Their job seems irrelevant.
-
The doctor's job is more important. Reducing it to "paid for seat" is capitulation to capitalism and wealth as a metric of rights.
-
We're not comparing income deprived people from services, and is it a slippery slope to say the Drs job is important, who guages that? (2/2)
-
Our culture has determined that by requiring doctors to have specialized training and bear additional legal responsibilities.
-
Our capitalist system has undermined that by making appointments hard to get and making drs non-fungible
-
Epidemiological studies have shown better outcomes when patients see the same Dr. That's not strictly true with, say, a programmer.

Wow, how bad does a company have to fuck up in order not to have douchebag apologists show up claiming "well actually they were right"?!
-
Literally there is no boundary. Because half our country are authoritarians.

My status as a doctor shouldn't give me privilege over any other person. Yes, it's an important job, but we are all equal in the eyes of law
-
This has nothing to do with law, it has everything to do with corporate policy, and it is well-accepted that some situations take priority.
-
Even their contract of carriage talks about how their priority system works. It involves things like fare class and disability status.
-
Law and equality are entirely irrelevant here. Unless one means "law enforcement will beat anyone non compliant bloody regardless of MD"
