Honestly, it&#x27;s crazy this isn&#x27;t true for all governments and businesses.  Frequent flier programs are just transparent kickbacks.  I&#x27;m not too worried about the redistribution (since ultimately people will count it as a perk when they are comparing jobs, so it&#x27;s priced in), but there has got to be significant deadweight losses from inefficient compensation, and from the person booking the travel being insulated from various incentives.
