Non-profit doesn't mean non-comfortable.
I'm not even a tall person, but economy is tight enough that my whole body hurts 1 hour into a ride. It's impossible for me to find a sleep position and watching last year's mediocre movies isn't a plus to me.
For a rare trip, I can deal with it to save money. But for frequent trips, I could see myself being quite pissed off if I had to take business trips regularly and sit in economy each time.

I'd get it if you were being flown out for some mission critical job that couldn't be accomplished remotely or by someone local, but imo if you're being flown out by a non profit for something like the things I mentioned upgrading to a more comfortable class should be paid for by you, not the organisation.
- ghaff 9y agoFor non-execs, economy is pretty much the standard at most organizations these days. Not necessarily some "steerage minus" deal but definitely not business unless you can get upgraded on your own. I do travel enough to get a slightly better version of economy but I don't get many upgrades to full business.
