I'm also a Diamond Member with 100% of my travel flown for leisure and have never been reimbursed a penny for my flying by an employer or corporation. However with that being said, I choose to fly for my own reasons, and never feel slighted or at a loss that others have the same status as me without using any of their personal expenses. I simply just enjoy traveling and even more importantly, love being able to do so on a coach fare budget, with an overwhelming possibility that I will ultimately end up flying in first class!
