Being a travelling tech is fairly common, but even more common is being a sales rep or any other office worker that requires travelling. Who do you think takes the thousands of flights that go everyday between european airports, all tourists?

Not having access to those circuits IS a handicap, also because once you're outside the EU, they're your only option. But hey, if you people want to cover your ears and avoid listening, I will not waste any more time.

Being a traveling whatever and having to pay out of pocket for your transportation not only isn't common, a lot of the time it's illegal. And if your company setup that you pay first and get reimbursements later, you just ask your boss to issue you a company card since yours was taken away for trying to whistleblow, it's entirely not a big deal.
You're comming up with more and more contrived scenarios that are based on more and more improbable sets of circumstances that only work if you saw Europe on TV and imagined that it's like America but people talk in funny way.
