Could you imagine, many people are self employed. Could you imagine there are a few handful large organizations (The YOU work for and THEY pay for argument) but 10th of 1000th of smaller companies, where the YOU and THEY argument doesn't meet the pure definition anymore.

Any by the way, as an example just one RT in BIZ FRA-SFO gives 25k status miles and is available for around 2k EUR on the cheapest BIZ fare.

I do 350-400k HON miles p.a. and I'm not flying as much as some others do. Typically just one long haul and a handful intra European flights per month.
