Utter tosh. Thats the blinkered attitude that bought the world to the brink of financial suicide last year. Most modern MBA's and admin wallahs can't see the world outside of their own very narrow and very poor education and experience.

And yes, I do run my own business as well as flying for a living. And no I don't treat people like piggy banks or cash cows.
