Ironically, the only outrage from the grizzled veterans here wasn’t necessarily about the fraud, but that her CPM use was quite high. Gordon Gecko would be very proud of this thread LOL (I mean that positively)

The same G's that arrested her are the same group that has deteriorated housing values by 40% and are now taking $40.00 a week from your paycheck to supplement their spending, and buying favors, much like the travel agent...
Kind of like the pot calling the kettle black.

Huh?

Does yours fuss when you ask to call reconsideration line, but first question after booking tickets "Is it first or business?"..


Lol, luckily I'm the one running the show with this game so DH just does whatever I tell him :D

She's a TA. My guess is that she converted the miles into tickets that she sold to unknowing clients, charging the clients a discounted price compared to what they'd otherwise have to pay for legitimate tickets.

Some of us are married to the same wife? I have to write it down for her on what to say and put the phone on speaker also. She hates it! Until we fly and stay for free.;)

I'm guessing she was a well-trusted employee who put in long hours and never took a vacation.:rolleyes: The Bermuda Triangle gets all the publicity - nobody ever heard of The Fraud Triangle. Except maybe Happy, us redbirds, and business picked clean by trusted staff with improper segregation of duties.:p

Quit with the complaining, the G's have a license to steal. Meet you at the
Place de la Concorde, when we card 'em for licenses.:D

Who need to steal when you can print your own money and own your own airplanes...

Anyone wants to bet she walk and does no time..
