Re: whatever
said by RadioDoc  :Truthfully, nobody is that important. Says you. This statement continues to be rehashed every time someone brings up evil corporations and/or highly paid execs. Fact of the matter is that there are people worth that much money. What about consultants hired for a job? If I'm paying a consultant $10K for a day or two, he/she better damn well work during travel that I'm paying for. OTOH, a lot of people that "think" they are worth that much money in reality are not. |

Any work being done en route will be done for whomever I feel like doing it for.
I stand by my previous statements. Any competent business person knows how to avoid losing money while in transit.

Any competent business person knows that  |

Having your workday dictated by an airline (the 'if I can't work/chat on my cellphone/surf the Internet/snore/fart I lose thousands of dollars' crowd) is indicative of someone who is not in control of their life.
