Two possibilities spring to mind

1. VA/Velocity points may be eventually going to a miles based system (possible standardization with partners or even maybe Star Alliance/SkyTeam ? )
2. The work experience kid is still in the Velocity/Virgin/Sabre interface trying to work out how to change the factory default settings of Sabre from miles to $$

:idea:

This. Maybe it's the companies that I've worked for, but since when do you make random changes to a production system during business hours?

Indeed... perhaps they have multiple nodes they bring online or something... if it's REALLY Agile they might be deploying small changes all the time...

Yes. Absolutely they should... but not on the production systems. For something of this size/complexity, they should have test systems that lets them apply the changes in a sandbox. Pretty much every business I've worked in have had at least 2 separate systems in addition to the live production environment; usually a test system loaded with contrived data and and an integration system with a nightly snapshot of the live environment.
