Do you really think all those pharmaceutical sales people or all the hotshots with the brand logo dry fit polos you see in the lounge eating their egg whites are spending their own money? Of course not, it’s called an expense account.

Same here. Great when it’s there and buying a $30 breakfast is no big deal when it’s not.

I doubt that NetJets pays full fare for any of their pilot stays, so why hasn’t ALPA stepped up and negotiated with the hotels to get us a stay credit at the least??

Do you think NetJets pilots, Chevron or Exxon, or any other corporate pilots spends his or her own money to overnight in hotels? Yesterday they all get stay credit AND points, and they get to use their status at hotels.

I think this comes down to the credit card. At NetJets you are issued an Amex card (you keep those points too) that is used to pay for your hotel rooms. At an airline it is direct bill. So, that is likely the difference.

The NetJets contract basically says the company can't book a rate that would result in no loyalty earnings.
