1. A few points about corporate jets.
1. Flying in a bizjet instead of going commercial wastes fuel.
2. Commercial airlines are mostly unionized, private aviation employees aren't.
3. General avaition security is far less stringent than commercial.
4. Do corporate execs get face time with elected officials on those flights?
5. The cost is really more comparable to that of a charter flight than of a first class flight.
6. There is just too much blankety-blank fundraising.
