Who would want a corporate jet when you could get around in a Ford GT?
Ford and General Motors will sell their fleet of corporate luxury jets, the two struggling auto companies announced today.
The move comes two weeks after ABC News revealed Ford CEO Alan Mulally, GM CEO Rick Wagoner and Chrysler CEO Robert Nardelli traveled to Washington in private jets to plead poverty and ask Congress for $25 billion in taxpayer money.
In a statement, GM said, "Due to significant cutbacks over the past months, GM travel volume no longer justified a dedicated corporate aircraft operation."
Here is my take. No corporate jets. The GM guy has the Corvette and Cadillac XLR at his service, Ford has the GT and Chrysler has the Dodge Viper. Let's give the CEOs exemption on speeding fines and parking tickets, and they can still travel in style, AND FAST!
Just a thought...
