How many of the automaker CEOs (and by the way, that includes Gettlefinger, if my viewing of the hearings is correct) travelled commercial to get to Congress yesterday and today?

Zero.

.....

All three CEOs - Rick Wagoner of GM, Alan Mulally of Ford, and Robert Nardelli of Chrysler - exercised their perks Tuesday by flying in corporate jets to DC. Wagoner flew in GM's $36 million luxury aircraft to tell members of Congress that the company is burning through cash, asking for $10-12 billion for GM alone.

.....

IMO, this is disingenuous. Who cares about the cost of the jet? It's not as if it was purchased yesterday, right? If so, the more important figure is the jet's maintenance cost.
Also, I'd love to see a breakdown of the $20K estimate for the round-trip cost of the flight.
