Man is that true.
We send teams all over the world and they get to fly biz class for intercontinental flights > 6 hrs.
They all fly Singapore, even if it means going out of the way for the routing.
Or you could fly American Airlines and have the Senior Set crab at you.
All of my business travel is stateside (unfortunately); my choices usually run from bad to worse (Delta, United, US Air and American, in that order). However, I do take Southwest whenever I can and JetBlue along the east coast. Those two are about the only ones (domestically) with an extensive route network and some semblance of customer service. The U.S. mega-carriers now rival the old Aeroflot in terms of “service” and customer dissatisfaction.
Heh. Ain't that the truth.
When I worked in the UK, I would book my flights on British Air -- loved it. But, occasionally, my boss would make the arrangements and book me on American [for his air miles, of course]. It was like flying on Gestapo Airways, "You vill stay in your seat! Und you will smile!"
