Look at what he is doing to required travel that has to be done in business. He will wait and wait until the airlines release the business seats to frequent flyers and then say "oh no business seat available, heres a middle coach seat for your 8+ hour flight". I have waited 14 hours to get my ticket confirmation on a flight I was to DH on to operate a day or so later. When called on it travel told me all business class have to go through SR and he was not here to approve, then it was he is looking at other options, all the time the price was rising!! 1.5 hours to check in I got a confirmed ticket at a higher cost than if he booked it 14 hours prior!!!!

2 things in play here. His bonus is based on what is left in the budget at years end, so the more left, the more he gets so every dollar saved is a few cents more for him. Plus he uses a travel firm owned by his sister and probably himself, to arrange some of the travel. Had a flight that I went to put on my FF number and told I couldn't as the ticket was purchased with points!!! How he gets away with it plus having control of a safety related function (rest, travel etc) which is based on an incentive (bonus) is also unreal.
