I would hazard a guess that staff paying ID90 for F are actually putting more into the CX coffers than redeemers. And they don't cost CX food and time in the F lounges.

There are also restrictions on which staff are able to pay for ID90 tickets in F and the last time I heard, were limited in the number of F tickets they could get each year.

Don't worry, they're not poaching your precious F award seats.
