Here is my two cents on what to do in regards to do about the potential situation.

1. Open new frequent flyer accounts with each airline using your company or other address. That way if they do change the policy you can just give them the new zero balance account numbers.

2. Advise the responsible party that you are happy to comply with this new policy. At the same time tell them that you will now begin traveling no earlier than the start of the business day and arrive at your destination no later than the close of the business day.

They get all miles and you travel during the hours you are paid to work. The time away from home and family are worth something and the ff mileage cannot come close to compensating for that loss.

I'm sure most of us on this board are salaried and work well in excess of 40 hours a week not counting our travel time. It is reasonable to me that we either keep the miles or fly on company time.

I have never had to do this myself but have made this reccomendation to two of my friends when faced with this same decision. In both cases the company relented and let them keep the miles.
