We just hired a guy who worked the last few years at HP, and they had him traveling internationally once a week (out and back) on flights routinely 10 hours or more. And they would only pay for coach. He has a crazy number of frequent flier miles, but damn, I wouldn't have lasted nearly that long before finding another place to work. Even premium economy, while much better than plain coach, is cramped and terrible when you're stuck in it for more than half a day.

What did this guy do for HP that he needed to travel so far and frequently for?
If he flies that often, he is likely getting upgraded most of the time. Upgrade to business is usually free, then you can use points to further upgrade to first.
Not on international routes.
