I'm not sure why you put 'company' in quotes... I do in fact work for a 'company', or 'corporation' if you will. So far every time I've travelled my manager has travelled with me, so I could get his permission before doing it... but I really don't think my company would care if I paid $30 to use an airport's wifi, even if I just checked my e-mail to make sure nothing is blowing up at the office. If they spend $1000+ to send me somewhere they're not going to nickel and dime me on airport wifi. My happiness is in their best interest.

What company do you work for?

I've never worked for a company where they were concerned about my happiness... just their bottom line.

Sometimes they would be concerned about the customers...but not the ones paying for our services.

Oh...and O'Hare does suck. I've never departed from there on time, no matter what airline, time of day, or destination.

I'm not going to say what company I work for, but any company that doesn't care about the happiness of its employees is shortsighted.

lol...I didn't expect you to. It was more a rhetorical question.

I agree with ya, but unfortunately shareholders like 'em. (What have you done for me lately)
 
What's up with all the ORD haters?

Yes, WiFi at ORD sucks, and is overpriced.

And of the 20 odd flights into/out of ORD this year, I have only been delayed for non-weather on maybe 2.
Hopefully tonights flight will be on time to keep my streak going.
