My company just changed their expense policy where we need to keep the boarding cards as part of the expense receipt process.
Unfortunately, paper passes will need to be around a bit longer.
What possible argument is there for that? I guess you can't fly Southwest either, since they take your boarding pass outright.
It's a big mess. Apparently someone high up in the company abused the travel expense policy, buying refundable tickets and cashing them in somehow while still getting reimbursed. It's a huge mess and the accounting department has gone from super-lax to draconian.
