These are busy guys and I could see it being cost/benefit wise being efficient to fly a small jet (or even a turbo prop).  (Saving time/being able to prepare for your testimony.)

However flying in a 36 million dollar luxury yacht is outrageous.

All three CEOs - Rick Wagoner of GM, Alan Mulally of Ford, and Robert Nardelli of Chrysler - exercised their perks Tuesday by flying in corporate jets to DC.

Sheesh! You’d think they could have carpooled!
( jetpooled? )

Shrugging off the mindless, baseless attacks of Liberal hyenas and jackals since 2007

I saw a television show about a year ago that showed the way Wall Street bankers lived. It was so opulent and ridiculous at best! As taxpayers we should be able to Vote on bailouts or not! I say no thank you, and especially if you are taking your private jet when asking!

I say get ready for coach, baby! It will do wonders for their humility. They can then feel like all the workers at their plants, for a change. Maybe if they don’t care for it, they can work to get the jets back.

They should have driven to DC, it would have been a great pr move and let’s face it, they are in the business of selling cars.

In a Prius?

I guess Ford’s CEO showed up in DC in a Ford Fusion (hybrid).  Ford sent out all sorts of press releases about it.

But that’s hollow symbolism when you get out of your luxury private jet into a hybrid.

The purpose of government shouldn’t be to do good, but simply to refrain from doing evil.

The crazy thing is that I’m pretty sure that there is service to DC every few hours from Detroit.  It’s not like the private jets were needed here.

My former boss’ advice (per Buffett); never buy stock in a company that owns aircraft.

Rick Wagoner of GM, Alan Mulally of Ford, and Robert Nardelli of Chrysler need to be replaced, as the first step in these companies Chapter 11 BKs.
The stupidity alone, of not realizing how this would “Look” is reason enough to question their fitness to lead the Auto Industry.
In this executive culture they share, it’s simply no wonder they are in so much financial trouble.

Price of ticket from M to DC-coach-$200.00, first class $750.00 round trip. Cost for the jet ride-$20,000.

We live in the information age. They couldn’t telecommute?

Sure, time is money. But is the time of these 3 momos really worth that much?
