harryh asked: I know this is normal for top execs to fly everywhere in executive jets. But, this just shows a lack of common sense on the executives part. Take the jet anywhere- just not to a hearing where your begging for 50 billion dollars of Americans money. Without common sense, how can you expect these executives to be capable of running such a company. This just wasn’t smart. Plain and simple. If you want public sentiment, fly Southwest then stay at a Hampton Inn. Leak the story to the media, and you would get public sentiment and your 50b. Give the public something to work with. Everyone knows you don’t meet the IRS wearing your good jewelry. C’mon guys- common sense.

slipknot0129 asked: it offends me that the gm ceo’s are trying to blackmail the government and flying in private jets just to go to somewhere and beg for 50 billion dollars from us tax payers.

mr_cj_jr asked: These guys flew their SEPARATE multi-million dollar private planes to the bailout hearings.
A move that didn’t bode well with the big boys.
Why didn’t these guys TRY to look ‘common’ when asking for such a large amount of money?
Thoughts?
