"In my company as a managing parner I am allowed to buy full fare first. Instead I pocket the difference and buy a cheap economy ticket which my company allows. Don't be jealous because I have learned the system at a young age. Also I sell my miles and get my money back and then some. FF miles are just free space, make friends with employees and get passes. "

WHAT A CLASS ACT...
