GM has.....sorry had 8 corporate jets and you think unions have outlived their usefulness???

I don't know how many they had nor do I know how many they needed. Certainly, they should have SOME.

Corporate jets are good investments for companies who have expensive executives who need to fly, particularly, when they're flying in groups of four or six or more.

You're kind of a stupid person so this won't mean anything to you. But if a large corporation has a facility in a town of 15,000, they probably cannot get their management there without building a suitable airport and having small jets available to land there. This is done routinely and with good reason. One of the corporations I once worked for had substantial facilities in a town of 10,000 -- where the nearest airport capable of handling commercial air traffic was 150 miles away. What are they supposed to do? Fly and rent cars and drive 6 hours r/t every time they want to visit the plant? When they're being paid $10,000/hour? That would be utterly stupid.
