Maybe not your company, but for many, time is money and it's a no brainier to get where you're going to as quickly as possible.
Assumes that you want to go where they fly. Fine for New York to London but I frequently fly from Manchester to various cities in SE Africa, S and SE Asia so irrelevant to me (and many other business travellers)
