The account for the US Government alone in all its guises flying around big shots and senators, ambassadors, and congressmen would be enormous, and I doubt you'll ever see them in coach! That dollar input alone would probably justify the airlines keeping it on.
Wrong!.....All US Government employees flying on the taxpayers dime, domestic or international, are in coach, there is an exception: Ambassadors on the first trip to their post and their last trip home are allowed to travel in F/C.
