especially if the tour manager doesn't understand the meaning of the word, "routing" -- or in other words, "itinerary created by guy wearing a blindfold throwing darts at a map."

If perhaps misinterpreted the question as (paraphrasing) "in what jobs do you get PAID to fly" rather than "in what jobs do you travel quite a bit on company funds."
In answering the first question, to state the obvious, pilots and FAs get paid to fly. I also, sometimes, get paid to fly. I am a consultant, and if the client requires me to fly on Sunday (actually, requests, since I can choose not to do so), the client pays for my time door-to-door. Since I'm bonused based on billable hours, I get a piece of that.

Kempis,
It is not that easy to fly in biz or F just by working for an airline. Airlines are liberal with free coach seats to airlines employees but Biz/F are a different story.
They try to not "dilute" the brand or the value of Biz/F.

If you want to travel in J/F and earn max miles, then consulting (IT, Biz Strategy, etc.), audit, investment banking with Global 2000 companies is the best. You fly a lot internationally and most companies are liberal with Biz/F travel policies on international travel. You can use those miles/credits/status to upgrade fairly easily on domestic travel.
