I had, but I woke up again. (Just one "f" in the handle, BTW.)

There's a fine line between "fiscally responsible" and "penny-pinching." The first is good. The second is not. Personally, I think trying to grab employees' FF miles crosses the line, but anyone should feel free to disagree - and to run their company accordingly, if they have one. (I've put my money where my mouth is in that regard, as CEO and half-owner of a consulting firm with a fairly large international travel budget a few years back.) For that matter, I also think that trying to force employees to use their miles for business travel gets into "penny wise and pound foolish" territory.
