    Travel Agent Booked Biz Class - turns out he used his points and took cash for himself

    Please excuse my ignorance here, but given the number of "award" seats available to the so called "public" and the fact that "travel agents" appear to be snapping them up and reselling them reduce the number available to us who actually "save up" points to get awards??.
