The 'jizz-bag' jab is aimed at corporate entities...not any one person or persons working with in the organizations usually they have no say in policy decisons. I have set up arranged the trvael operation for a major Hollywood Studio...so I know the drill very well...I saw airline ass kissing at a level that the largest corporate travel companies would never dream of! So If take personally as you did..okay so I once a former jizz-bag too..but doesn't me the practice no longer exist! If anything, and being in business for myself the corporate ethics are non-existants and it's thirst is at unprecedent levels....just look at Enron and Global Crossings! But seriously, no personal attacks were intended in anyway, my apologies if they appeared that way! Greg "Michael F.
