Here's why the private jets are a non-story:
a) it cost $20,000 for this flight.
b) around 10 execs flew on each plane, so the cost was about $2,000 each.
c) by one person's calculation, the CEO of GM makes around $1,400 per hour.
Now, which is more cost-effective? Having a private jet waiting to carry a $1,400 per hour CEO and 9 other execs whose time is only slightly less valuable ready to go at a moment's notice, or having these same execs pay not that much less for business class on an airline but have to stand around in line and/or wait in a ground delay at a busy airport while they could actually be working for their money?
Even if you don't come to the same conclusion I have, the fact is it's a debatable point. And if it's a debatable point, then it's not worth worrying about when you're talking $20,000 vs. the billions that are going to be lost if we don't do something here.

I won't be receiving an expensive peice of Tiffany crystal this year from WaMu or a really expensive box of toffee or a pecan pie encased in a wooden box shaped like Texas, no towering box of cheese,no fruit baskets, no wines, no Honey Baked Ham,no monthly gifts from Harry & David that the postman thinks I don't know he's keeping..my banking contact Christmas gift bonanza is gone. How did it come to this?

Or gyros. At the end of a long night of drinking when there aren't enough brain cells left to worry with.

And sometimes, it's just about stickin' the landing.

And, yes. As long as it's not on automatic pilot.
