It is the same as having access to a high quality automotive tool versus a cheapo depo automotive tool that may cost more in time and money and frustration.

I'm aware of one rather large business where middle management is REQUIRED to fly on commercial airlines even though the company owns a fleet of very fast (41,000 feet direct point-to-point capable) business jets. Why is this? It is because if the dumb ass public ever got wind that middle management were flying on private jets, their stock prices would tumble and the public would revolt by not purchasing products the company sells.

However, if middle management were allowed to fly the company's private jets, they would be TEN TIMES MORE PRODUCTIVE which would result in GUARANTEED lower pricing of their products.

Stupidity rules yet again.
