Bankers Told to Fly Coach

Baggage

I think they should fly in the baggage/cargo area.

It's All Coach

"On your next flight from Bangkok, Thailand, to Phnom Penh, Cambodia..." seems to suggest that bankers might have been used to flying business or first class. There is no business or first class on flights from Bangkok to Phnom Penh. Next time, suggest to your writers that they check their facts before writing.

Aw, too bad....

The company I work for (a Fortune 500) requires all of us (including executives) to fly coach for any flight under 7 hours and this policy has been in place since Q3 2006. The finance fat cats are finally feeling the pinch too. Get used to it bankers....you earned it.

Maybe they should use teleconferencing, and eliminate the need to travel period.

Unless they are just trying to pad their frequent flyer accounts, they can take care of business more efficiently and cost effectively.
