Is collecting frequent flyer points ethical? I know lots of you guys fly on your employer's dime and collect FFPs, but given that I'm not hired yet, is this ethical?

Plus, what is the most tactful way of ... suggesting that the recruiter book me a ticket on a specific airline / alliance. How can I also ensure that my FFP status is reflected on the boarding pass?

Thanks :-:
They only give the flight credit to the actual passenger so I don't see the problem.
Most recruiting firms have contracted travel agency to handle travels. If you are Aeroplan you can collect if you are flying on Star Alliance (UA CO US). Just give them your number when you are checking in and keep your boarding pass until the miles are credited to your account.
