If it was just the CEO on the plane it sounds a little more disturbing that he couldn't just fly commercial. Its just too easy to point out wastefulness in this case & it definitely didn't help their case.

2. I totally agree, Toyota has gone larger & larger with their vehicles because they know they sell
Yes, they do fly others on those jets USUALLY (I know because when I worked at Borg-Warner - that's right, tier-1 supplier, and I worked in Diesel Systems for the big 3 + numerous others) and I got an email about once a week about openings on a corporate jet. But, Borg-warner is still doing great because we work with anyone, so if anybody makes money in the auto industry, so do we. On the other hand, I got an inside-look at how the big 3 work, and there's alot that imo could be done better. Like with government, too much politics wastes time and money.
