I've not worked anywhere where I was "strongly incentivized" to fly a specific airline. Also, your usage of "paid luxury travelers" is suspicious. I get that traveling on vacation is a luxury, but I feel like it implies they pay more. Businesses may get discounts for picking an airline, but what's the mix of business-class seats sold to business travelers vs personal travelers? I think it's the corporate travel that props up the whole system, even if buying at a discount.

> Also, your usage of "paid luxury travelers" is suspicious. I get that traveling on vacation is a luxury, but I feel like it implies they pay more. To be clear, by "paid luxury traveler" I was referring to folks who pay for business or (proper) first-class when they travel. The well-to-do retiree or executive type. The people who pay for Lufthansa First.
