If people want something to compare regarding staff travel, try this:
Pilots: Our tickets will never, ever displace a fare-paying passenger, even if that pax buys a ticket at the very last minute.
Execs: I while back just before Joyce took over I asked a ground staff manager in MEL why she looked so angry and flustered. The reason was that she had just been ordered to displace several full fare paying business class pax off a flight because Dixon and his entourage had at the last minute decided they wanted to get that flight. The order came directly from Dixon himself.
That's the difference.
