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.

The money they spent was just part of the equation. Like I mentioned, its the
image they are conveying. They are out there asking for money and act like it shouldn't matter if they continue to live a lavish lifestyle.
No one said anything about flying coach. It was asked why they didn't jet pool or go
first class.
We have to stop protecting and making excuses for these CEO's and drop the hammer. They need to step up and take accountability for what they did. They boarded those planes to help save an industry they were largely responsible for destroying. They boarded those planes because that's what they are getting paid million's of dollars to do. They are not hero's in my book.
