can I get paid?

I'm going to put this in the dictionary next to "circular argument." He is
"permitted to" collect his salary? Give me a break, Peter. His original
question and my original answer had nothing to do with his collecting his
regular paycheck, whether he flew a private airplane or stayed home slaving
over a hot desk. The thrust of his original post was how he should be
reimbursed by his employer for travel costs...nothing more. I still think
that the original subject line could have been better worded in order to
elicit the information he required.

I think that you and teacherjh are the ones who are splitting hairs. It
is
obvious that he will collect his paycheck for his employment

And he's permitted to. It's the reimbursement for the cost of the
airplane
he was asking about, which is not his paycheck. He can get paid, AND he
can
get paid (except, of course, by your overly strict definition of "paid").
