   An unnamed international company employing a friend of mine had a   
   contract with Lufthansa, and he was sent to work in several German   
   cities.  Obviously, if was more economical for the company to pay the   
   hotel only from Monday to Friday, pay him a taxi from Bratislava to the   
   Vienna airport 5:00 Monday morning and back on Friday midnight, with the   
   flights being provided for free by Lufthansa (only if there were free   
   seats - he has been treated as a Lufthansa employee in this respect).   
   He was rather unhappy with the arrangement, and eventually quit.
