Bruce..I'm glad that's your former employer. I do professional placements as part of my business, and for any job involving heavy travel, I always force a copy of travel policies out of the client before any interview. About 10% of the time HR refuses to do this, at which point I scratch them and send a memo up the C level about it.
If a company thinks your travel time is worth only 100 bucks over lowest fare in today's world, you don't want to work there .
