As a person who has a career involving a great deal of business travel myself...I would hope that the business leaders of SLI travel executive class and not economy. It would not make sense showing up to negotiate million dollar deals and construct billion dollar strategies groggy and grumpy because you couldn't rest comfortably due to lack of leg room.

As an investor, I want my leaders to be at thier best 100% of the time.

Anyone who has spent a great deal of time in the world of business travel will concur...it is no picnic...and certainly no vacation. The novelty wears off before you even get through customs. the first time around..

I also think the reference to private jets was tongue in cheek...as I think we all have a good feeling that the leaders of this company are not akin to corrupt politicians.

This of course is just one mans opinion.
