I can't see how it matters what people who don't get staff travel think of it. They can love it, detest it, be nonplussed by it - makes no difference to me. Nor would I be looking for their sympathy. As far as I can tell, the people who are most upset about staff travel are the ones who leave angry online comments on Daily Telegraph articles about QF, and who seem to think that staff travel confers unlimited confirmed First Class seats for $5 a sector, at the expense of regular paying passengers. Their opinion isn't something that greatly troubles me.
