Many larger companies got hammered during the last few years and kept airplanes, and use them as essential business tools - even under government monitoring.
The auto CEOs were pathetic - they looked like complete losers - not only in the way they ran their companies, but especially in the way they took the lashing from the morons in congress. Hard to believe such talent ran such large industry.
That whole episode of a guy making 5K/hr as a CEO driving a hybrid POS for 2 days from Detroit to DC was one of the most pathetic things I have ever seen. He should have flown the company jet, did business onboard, made various stops for meetings, etc.....instead he was proud to drive a hybrid and stay in a Best Western. Lovely. Where is your Chairman? Oh, somewhere on I-90 stuck in traffic....wtf!
In reality, at the end of the day, if you can't outwit a simpleton like Maxine Waters you have no business running a Quickee Mart, nevermind a Fortune 10 company.
