It's tough to use the argument that my heavy travel schedule makes me somehow exempt from a lot of the rules. In my company, two of the three people that travel more than I do are the Chairman and President. I'm not sure how long I would be able to stay employed or maintain friends in the organization, if I became "elite".

Additionally, peers who travel almost as much as me, would undoubtably eventually learn of my perks, and expect the same. This could ultimately undermine the whole travel policy.

Reality is my company's policies are reasonable, and in line with the better of policies others have posted. Only significant difference, is there is no circumstances that would allow for paid international business class travel.
