it's not like they have to personally have to wait in line to book a flight. This is a technological age, they (hell their secretary) can book a flight in 5 minutes, on the way to the airport.

They're still at the mercy of the airline's schedule though. -- nm - Ender Nov 19, 14:56 4
- I guarantee you that if I go onto travelocity or some other site, I can get a flight to any major american city in the next 1-2 hours. - musubi Nov 19, 15:00 3
  - That's great if you're going from one major city to another. Auto plants aren't only in major cities though. - Ender Nov 19, 15:06 2
    - When you're paying a guy $10,000,000 a year you don't want him wasting an entire day travelling just because Airline X doesn't have a direct flight from Point A to Point B. -- nm - Ender Nov 19, 15:09 1
      - If Airline X can't get you there, try Airline Y. - musubi Nov 19, 15:13
