That’s a bulkhead for galley or bathroom. I dislike bulkhead seats on such regional jets, so I would avoid 2DF, especially since it’s likely to be by the bathroom.

and here’s a thread: SAS CRJ 900 Seat 2D?

SAS Canadair Regional Jet 900 in Business Class??

Yeah, administrative bs like this is the reason I refuse to work for any of the large multinationals. Actually for every company besides small to medium sized start-ups which seem to operate in a much more pragmatic way.

Worked for 3 of the big boys, never again.

One of my first jobs out of school that involved air travel had an accounting department that made a fuss over my using student tickets to do my commute to unit HQ and Parent HQ. [It was a relatively large MNC, and definitely one of the 500 largest US-listed companies at the time.] Apparently they didn’t like my buying booklets of one-way tickets at the student fare, even as that was less than 20% of the cost of the tickets CorpTravel would hit my boss’s PNL with. Fortunately, I had a boss who recognized and appreciated thriftiness and who had a privileged backing from the more permanent members of the board; and so I was able to continue doing what I wanted to do to reduce the hit to the PNL for my boss. But for a different employer, a major defense contractor, accounting wouldn’t stand for even the most minor of out of the box thinking when it came to expense management; and when a big name in the aviation industry took over the defense contractor, things actually got more flexible in ways for a brief period of time. But that didn’t last.

The worst employers/clients of mine for expense report submission and reimbursement have been the small clients. If the owner of a SME finds a new guy to be like a deputy boss with oversight of operations and/or finance/accounting, all of a sudden even old expenses can come back into being made into an issue along with more recent expenses and bills that haven’t yet been covered by the employer/client. But I am not sure if an SME client would complain about a cheap lounge access fee in an expense report if not being hit with a restaurant meal cost too.

The small ones obviously look more closely on their cash and if it is spend wisely. But I never have an issue getting my money from my start-up clients if the expense makes sense and is justified. No arbitrary limits, no xyz will not be payed bs or accountants dissecting the expense reports for anything out of policy. Perhaps I’m just lucky with my clients...

On the other hand I spend so much money on expenses for the big ones and no body cared. As long as the validation rules in Concur (or similar) did not trigger. But if they do the pain begins...
