These guys are not destroying our industry and livehood. The Media is, in this case ABC News....At this point I fear the media A LOT more than I fear this reccession..

CEOs flying around in private jets is creating a lot of controversy, as far as the media is concern, this is the gift that keeps on giving...they're going to ride this pony until it drops.

Don't forget Pres. Obama's speech to the Nation. When he made the comment about CEOs hiding behind their corperate jets. Yes the media is to blame but they are just reporting what our "leaders" are saying. As far as hiding behind corp. jets how much did it cost the taxpayers for Pres. Obama to "fly" to NYC on a corp type jet for a date with his wife? And they want to limit pay and bonus on Corp CEO's.... Ok I feel better that I got to vent a little.

It didn't cost as much as flying to CA to appear on the Jay Leno show to make fun of people with disabilities.

I am delighted to see members of the U.S. Senate flying on charter or private aircraft. That should improve their attitude toward the use of aircraft for their efficiency, convenience, privacy and security. If they use aircraft, then demagogue on the issue, then they should be immediately exposed as hypocrites, but as long as they appreciate and use aircraft, they should be solidly commended for that.

MTOP - are you kidding me, you think that riding in these aircraft are going to improve their attitude? They are all about maintaining power, privilege, and perks for themselves. The only way for them to appreciate the time savings and improved security of corporate aircraft is for them to fly coach.
