The AJC's slanted take on corporate aircraft

[Rick James]

How many pilots lost their jobs due to that "time machine" display by the automakers in DC?

Those CEO's of the Big Three that went before Congress cost people their jobs because they were cowards. All they had to do was explain that they were on a tight schedule and several other cities to visit that day. Instead, they acted like kids that got caught with the keys to dad's car. Those morons in Congress do the same thing, only the taxpayers foot the bill.

Bottom line is that if you want luxury and time is not a concern, buy a Prevost not a private jet.

Only pilots that worked for stupid people.

Exactly.

I thought it strange they couldn't handle the spotlight and or pressure that well. For guys in those positions they just folded.

Maybe Mizzzzzz Tucker should do some research about why the owners of her company fly private jets. It seems they were removed from a commercial flight while in Europe and were advised they could not be guaranteed of their safety while on a commercial flight. Thus a flight department.

All I can think about is my CEO standing at the gate of some airport trying to get to somewhere to meet with potential multi-million dollar investors and being told "sorry sir the flight is cancelled because of crew rest issues. We"ll put you on the waiting list for tomorrow along with the other 200 passengers. But because you checked in only an hour and a half before the flight, you're last in line behind those vacationing blue heads! No, I don't care if your million dollar budget meeting ran a little late."
Screw the media, they don't have a clue how to run a company!

 

[Choppy]

Doesn't Cox Communications own the AJC? Don't they have a rather large flight department?

If they need a story on corporate aviation, why don't they see what kind of waste is generated (at the taxpayer's expense) by use / misuse of government aircraft....
