I am fairly sure Teece was deadly serious as I thought exactly the same thing. And you wonder why we see companies going under during the credit crunch

Employee or Freelance Consultant's Question: "Excuse me Mr Travel Manager, I can book a business class fare for cheaper than a WT+ fare, will that be OK because the corporate travel policy does not allow J?"

Mr Travel Manager answers: "No, that will not be OK, you must book WT+ and pay more because it might set a precedent and people will always expect to fly in J or a senior manager may see you in J and complain or some other stupid such excuse they can come up with because they are thick as two short planks"

Idiots!!!
