They might pay for it, but do they like it? My brother-in-law works for a global pharm company, and while he is authorized to travel BC on int'l flights over 8 hours, the cost of that ticket still comes out of his travel budget. And all of you corporate types know how that game get played. I'd hazard a guess that FEWER corporate travellers are buying BF tickets, and riding in coach. Especially in the current economic climate. Just another sign that CO just doesn't get it.
