OT - Airline ticketing

In every company I've worked for they've booked flights using my
corporate credit card, which I am required to carry on business trips
(they don't want me getting rewards from using my personal credit card
)
If a company used a credit card you didn't have access to or did not
issue you a corporate card with your name on it, what would you do if
you needed to make changes to the reservation which required an
increase in fare?

I guess you'd have to find a way to pay for the changes, cash, check,
american express. She had her own cards. In any case, I've sent my kids
plane tickets to come home from Grandma's. I thought that was what E-Tickets
were all about.

On the other hand, this guy was either incredibly foolish, or had balls
the size of the great outdoors. To go up against a Marine Wife enroute to
meet the "returning from combat" husband; would not be easy. When advised
that she will be supported by indirect fire from an Ex Navy Wife/Mother in
law, it's downright foolish. He's lucky someone didn't call in an airstrike.
I would have had the local TV news team down there in minutes.
I think pretty highly of our troops. Surveys say I am not alone. To
deny a tear jerking homecoming for a combat verteran would play very well to
the local TV ratings. To do it in front of the United desk would not help
their image.
It worked out. He is on the ground at MCAS Miramar as I speak. My
daughter was there, on time.
