It is in their contract that they CANNOT fly airlines as directed by the Board of Directors. It would be against Board rules to fly all 3 CEO's on the same aircraft and could be considered antitrust and anticompetitve to do so. Would you want to sit next to the CEO of the big 3 on an airline filled with people who's benefits and jobs have been affected by the globalization of the industry. I have worked for people who have been threatened and who's houses have been shot at with much less at stake. I know the pilots on those aircraft and their job is identical to 90% of the people that use this forum. They are not asking for a handout but a guarunteed loan because commercial paper has all but halted. Are they the smartest people in the world, probably not, but grandstanding and then taking the Holiday Off didn't help anyone. ABC got the type of aircraft, number of aircraft, price of aircraft wrong and couldn't figure out if Toyota and Honda have aircraft or if they recieve money from the Japanese government but that is journalism now. The National Enquirer operates at higher standards than that.
