I’ve always heard the cost-benefit argument for corporate flight departments. Time is money, how much have you got to spend. In addition to the issues of security, executive productivity, a corporate asset that is depreciated, control of the flight schedule… Maybe there is an emotional element when it comes to the decision of G-V vs a Falcon 900…. But the fact is, it takes money to make money. What I resent is some elected IDIOT that is incapable of running a business of their own, sucking on the public teat at a salary of some $170,000+ pretending to run the business of the country suggest that they know better! Now some spineless corporate executives, fearful about public perception and appearances, are going to make the decision to divest themselves of corporate aviation, in a soft market aviation market… good bizness thinking there sport.

I’ve been buying and driving American produced crap for years, I wonder what Pelosi, Reid, and Frank drive? If nothing else, maybe I’ll look at buying a Ford next time around because they chose to hold out on the bail outs….

My family thinks that I’m uppity because I live in a double wide, but I refuse to be embarrassed by my success. I wish I could have heard one of those corporate suits make a good argument for corporate aviation rather than run for cover when asked how they got to DC... About as relevant a question as what Barney Frank ate for dinner the night before.
