Corporate jets are a perq, not a must have item. When a CEO making $25 Million a year flys to DC in a corporate jet that runs $3000/hr to fly, plus what they pay to staff and service it, this does not make good press. Ford could easily find four guys at $2 million a year to do a better job, and save the difference.
