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.

Hey, I'm in full agreement with that...but we're talking about 3 companies asking for a combined $25 billion...while the jokers who asked for *and recieved* the $750 billion are on what, lavish party/vacation number 3 now? Don't get me wrong, the Big3 could use a big dose of fat trimming, but it's looking to me like Congress couldn't care less about them going under, but were all about helping out their banking buddies...kinda makes a guy wonder in *whose* bank account is that $750 BILLION actually gonna end up in, huh?
