I can't believe this! After all the whining about how they can't afford to pay their pilots reasonable salaries (as they've always promised), they have found yet another way to throw away money.
As this is being written, a Flight Options Beechjet is flying the Vice President of Safety and Security and his family from Ohio to Jackson Wyoming for a one week vacation at a cost of approximately $16K. This VP is a Flops pilot on the seniority list (#182). Apparently he is not bothered that a couple hundred of his fellow pilots are sitting a home, furloughed, without pay or benefits.
It wasn't too long ago that BT and his wife took a Beechjet vacation to Hilton Head and Florida. I lose track of KR, but when he's not bouncing between his various homes, he is in Europe, Asia or Alaska. I can't vouch for his mode of travel in every case, but I'll bet he's not riding coach.
