Business class on a budget?

[gumpy]

Article from SMH... sadly my business is starting to go down this route as well.

It makes me sad, even sadder because as the FC here i'm part of the decision making process. anyone else facing this type of cost cutting?

Business class on a budget?

Just after I joined the company in 2007, the existing FC (based in Germany, and who did very little travel) implemented the policy of Y only travel no matter where the destination.

Thankfully not long after our new FC started with the company in August 2011, he had to make a few quick trips in succession from head office in Germany to our sites in Australia, Brazil and USA.

Oddly enough the policy was changed in December 2011 to allow Y+ for flights over 8 hours duration.....

I imagine skirts and boots could be very comfortable... With lots of increased air flow...

Premium? I wish!
Work sends me everywhere in Y, Europe, US, Japan, the lot.
Ahh the joys of working for a Japanese company.
Still I'd rather travel than not.
