Gleff,
I do not doubt the fact that these deals happen every once in a while, and can indeed cause huge spikes in someones travel, but I was surprised as to people doing this over several years, as this is how I understood the example Ozstamps was giving.
Nonetheless, I have thought about it some more and do believe it is possible, although very,very tiring and rare.
I thought back and remember a few years ago, I was working on a project in London which was being run by a board member from NY. He commuted via Concorde (F after the Le Bourget crash) for about 6 months. Went home virtually every weekend. He also had a permanent room at Claridge's. I suppose he would have been in this league had he continued to do this. Guess it is possible after all, although probably not in this economy......
