People working for financial services companies. They don't fly that often but fly far - London, Tokyo, Sydney etc. - racks the miles pretty quickly. And they can pay J.

I guess my question is related to this quote more than the thread, but if Rupert is so knowledgeable in mileage programs, why is AC having so much trouble getting it right? Is it all Uncle Miltie's fault or what?</font>

Some "head of the household" for asian immigrant families living in Canada.
The mother and kids would stay in Canada while the father works in asia (the type of industry is usually very diverse and can also involve business travel to other parts of asia). The father would usually come home often to visit the family (or maybe even on the way to another city for a business trip). (For some families the husband seldom comes home and the wife starts getting worried)

That sort of billable rate is fairly common in specialized management consulting (my area happens to be supply chain systems integration).
