Sorry for late reply. I've been BUSY.
But I always like to emphasize that Gateway Travel is NOT a benefit. If they were to take away Gateway Travel this place would grind to a halt within the span of two days. The company absolutely depends on Gateway because we don't have our own hub & spoke network to ride on. I know you understand that, but I wanted to clarify the issue for new people unfamiliar with the operation.
Sure, it's nice not jumpseating to work and putting up with the crashpad scene, but you know these executives are not buying tickets out of the goodness of their heart.
