The company for whom I work is bigger and arguably more important than the entire country of Australia.

Our corporate travel policy is that we should not fly in anything other than business class for flights over 4 hours in length.

Out of respect for both our employees and also value for money for our shareholders.

There is never any reason for first class v business, I have travelled in both and it is not value for money.

There is no reason ever for politicians to travel in first class.
It wastes our money.

Buzz and other losers who don't pay tax probably don't care but its insulting to those people who do pay.

It's ok, I'll fill it in for you

$0.00

Here's an interesting one. You've criticised my father for his contribution and dedication to Australia.

How do you think your tax contribution to the country stands up against his???

I pay my taxes d1ckhead, and do you think the F/M of this country should travel in bean counter class with hypocrites like you. Butt out of what you don't have the spine to fight for and run back to the Uass.

Yeah but your an airhead without the air. Some people behave stupidly but you have the knack of creating new stupidity from nothing. So it's no surprise that you can't think. Of anything.

It wastes our money.

Again... What would be your opinion on the matter if the Federal Government had a contract with the carrier to discount MPs traveling on government business such that the state paid business class prices for first class tickets?

Then I would be interested to know why they can't get business class tickets at economy class fares.

My flights between Australia and Los Angeles are ridiculously cheap because as a company we spend hundreds of thousands of dollars with Qantas, United, American etc.

There is no reason for first class. None at all.
I have been in first, it is actually harder to work in there than in business.
