I once worked for a company that paid us an extra hourly rate while out of town. On top of that, they actually let us fly first class. Everything was billed to the customer, at 125% of actual cost, so they didn't care. That's where I racked up my million miles on Delta. Back then, each flight segment was worth 1,000 miles. Every trip out of BHM was a connection, so that was 4 segments per trip, then double mileage for first class, getting 8,000 miles per trip plus another 1,000 for the car rental and 1,000 for the hotel, and traveling 2 to 3 weeks a month. Ah, those were the days! :-) -- - RODNEY Next WDW Vacation? Who knows!
