RE:Pedro7 is right.Corporate jets create a very efficient way of doing things. These aircraft are time savers and allow the C.E.O.'s and other high salaried individuals to conduct business, i.e. attend numerous meetings etc. in a very short period of time. This is what good companies require to ensure the maximum amount of expertise is extracted from these well paid individuals. Ask yourself this: Would you invest in a company that pays it's C.E.O. big bucks, only to travel via airlines and enduring numerous delays and missing many meetings and opportunities$$?? I sure hope not......As for those laid-off, well get off your butts, retrain (no pun intended) and find a new career. p.s. I, myself am a casualty of a massive corporate layoff....
