GM plans to give up two private planes

WASHINGTON — Struggling General Motors, which was blasted and mocked for using one of its corporate jets to fly Chief Executive Richard Wagoner to the U.S. capital this week to beg Congress for a share of $25 billion in bailout cash, is preparing to give back two of its leased corporate jets, the company said Friday.

GM started the year with a fleet of seven leased jets. It gave back two in September and is preparing to shed two more.

"We are very sensitive to the issues around the use of corporate planes," spokesman Tom Wilkinson said. "This is something we will be looking at closely in the future."


GM said it was already preparing to give back the two additional jets even before this week's hearing. ( I wonder why?)<g>

"Santa Claus Crash".....be careful what you wish for?<g>
