These people are exceptionally brilliant, even the dumb ones. You can't even fly a major international corporation into the ground without more smarts than most of you guys have.

They must be doing something right.......they have peons like you defending them for free.

It would have been STUPID for them to have flown coach. That they overestimated the intellect of the news media and some democrat politicians is their problem. There was absolutely no reason for them NOT to have flown in corporate jets. Top managements all over the country do it daily. You can sit on Denton Drive near Love Field in Dallas any day of the week and see hundreds and hundreds.

I can't relate to your kind of partisan...it is so extreme that even a PR disaster that has occurred is easily denied ...do I really need to explain this to you? how can you not see that coming to Washington to beg for a loan, in the midst of a debate that tries to assign blame for their companies' problems, in an iconic show of corporate largesse, the corporate jet, three of them, is what is STUPID. If they were really smart, they would have driven the newest hybrid in the stable...not these guys. Perception is reality...if you don't know that you don't have any business running a company...auto or otherwise.

These people are exceptionally brilliant, even the dumb ones. You can't even fly a major international corporation into the ground without more smarts than most of you guys have.

They're scapegoats.

You are beyond hope.

" Top managements all over the country do it daily. "

I see Dave. So, the argument your making for flying to DC in private jets being "the right business decision" is based on the clear logic of "everybody does it".

I'll tell you what my mom told me: "If all your friends jumped off a cliff, would YOU?"
