No, it's not a waste of money for a corporation to have a flight department - which costs upwards from half a mil/year. It does pay off.

Just checked, and - the all-inclusive price for 25 hours flown in domestic transportation with a Citation V Ultra would be $119,588.16 plus applicable per passenger US-imposed taxes.

I take it, that's per passenger. If you have a sales dept of say - five who travel often and extensively - well, shoot, in a Citation - from here to the east coast five hours, back another five hours - whoa one trip eats up 2/5 of the card. Now multiply that by your sales force, your business associates, the guys you fly in from say Mexico or Canada with whom you wish to do business, and a flight dept looks cheap, dirt cheap.
