What's sauce for the goose, shall never go anywhere near the gander

Just before the general election the BBC got itself into a self-righteous froth about Nicholas Winterton's comments about having to travel first class on the train. Wrinkled Weasel notes that they have not been quite so upset by Alan Yentob's comments in today's Telegraph that

'Club Class transatlantic air travel is "essential" to his job.
According to the piece: 'Last month the BBC's creative director Alan Yentob, who gets £183,000 and a six-figure pension from the BBC, claimed he would not be able to work properly without flying business class at licence feepayers' expense.
He justified a £3,381 return trip to New York in business class by saying that without it, he "wouldn't have been capable of doing the job". ''

One rule for MPs and one for the 'commentariat'?
