It's no wonder why they may not get the money. Sorry guys, but those 3 yahoo's would have been better off staying home.
How can 3 top executives of the worlds most powerful corporations arrive without a business plan to present. It's quite obvious they thought, " Hell we're GM, Chrysler and Ford and there's no way you can deny us what we want." Yeah, right.

I think the jet issue is being blown out of proportion. I’m going to go out on a limb and say these plains were company owned jets probably for years. They total cost of the round trip in comparison to the companies financial situation can only be described as insignificant. What honestly is the most it could have cost them? The price of three or six cars maybe. The heads of three of the largest automakers in the world don’t fly coach. I know it seems like it makes sense but it doesn’t.
It’s like being on the verge of loosing your house and getting a cheeseburger from McDonald’s instead of a quarter pounder to save money. It isn’t going to affect the outcome of loosing your house. It isn’t the same as those financial execs planning the half million dollar vacation while their companies were failing. These men boarded those planes in an attempt to save their industry.
