Does anyone think this is way off topic, or is it okay as long as it's auto
related and no one is getting upset over it? There is a historical tie with AMC,
at least as far as they were in this position once. I actually think AMC was in
a BETTER position, as they tried to economize wherever they could. I don't
see the big three doing that yet. 


I agree with Joe on the private jets, at least in principal. The jets they
showed aren't just private jets -- they are the luxury models. A 20
passenger Lear or Cessna business jet with first class type seating would be
reasonable. Something that would normally haul 100 coach passengers outfitted to
carry 10 or so people is a bit on the extravagant side. It's like the
difference between driving a Lincoln Town Car or a luxury motor home. There are
some efficiencies they can incorporate with the jets too, but I do see the need
for them in such a big, wide spread industry.

But they should not have to give up their corporate jets.  They do save time
and provide security for those guys.  And auto companies can move management
folks (not just CEOs) to and from plant locations for problem solving without
screwing around in security lines at the airports.   The jets are just a symbol
that the average folks see as a toy, but they are really a tool. It's called
efficiency and it's real.
