the close door meeting between the upper management
CEO: Geez, even with the money and benefit we pay for the extra employees, we come out ahead when we redeem their miles for our first class tickets.
CFO: Right on the nose. It makes my job so much easier.</font>
This is why CEO's get thrown off their jobs. Airlines will not allow you to redeem miles from someone else's account to give you free First Class travel if they suspect there was renumeration involved. A professional mileage runner who is paid a salary and has tickets paid for by the corporation certainly qualifies.
A business-plan fit for Enron or Worldcom or a dot-com.
