Received this Email regarding the abuse of Official Government Travel Miles being used for Personal Travel. It should be considered for a better understanding of what is going on. Your future Upgrades and Awards will be affected by this.
---------------------------

Govt. travel is funded by the US Taxpayers. FreqFlyer Miles should be used only for authorized Govt travel. If these Govt. FF miles are now allowed to be used for PERSONAL travel, then the US taxpayer is paying to upgrade Govt employees.

The potential for abuse of excessive travel could be authorized by the Govt upper management bureaucrats to get these FF miles, which would eventually be competing with every one else on their business or personal travel.

Do not allow Federal employees to use Miles to fly First class on personal or leisure flights at the expense of the US taxpayer.

There are MANY Govt employees flying everyday and will compete with the Taxpayer, who is paying his own way. There will be a reduction of upgrades and award seats with the FF.
