28 *million* air miles works out to nearly 77,000 air miles *per day*!
And 1840 nights in hotel rooms cumulates to over five years, just for
the board of directors alone (not counting staff or "funded travelers").
When comparing this 1% lifestyle of resource consumption against the
actual work product created the following phrase comes to mind:
"parturiunt montes nascitur ridiculus mus" ("The mountain labored and
brought forth a mouse.")
