Both parts of the enterprise strongly depend on a gameable system of aspirational travel to make money. No wonder its take on the report is scathing
So you are saying that as much as Deloitte stands to make money by changing/improving the FF programs, VFTW stands to benefit from the status quo? I hadn't thought of it that way, but I suppose you are correct. Except that even with a re-vamped FF program, aspirational travel would still be in the mix...the old dog might have to learn some new tricks, though.

What is this book you speak of, btw?
