Michael wrote in message If you're shipping an employee around the
country, he must have some valuable skills. How much is it costing you to
have him sitting
around for extra hours, being mostly unproductive? How much is it
costing you when you **** him off by putting him on the most
inconvenient but cheapest available flight, and he decides not to work
those extra hours to get the project done on time?

The alternative is easy. Send the employee on a charter flight, or acquire a
plane. However, are these alternatives more cost effective than a few hours
of lost productivity? That employee must have some very special skills
indeed!
