As opposed to rolling up on a Greyhound or in a Yugo? I don't get it. The leaders of these companies and the others looking for some tax money to bail themselves out of the fire have every right to travel as they always would, as it is no less ridiculously wasteful and excessive for them to travel that way now than it was before everything hit the fan. I understand that you would think they would have the common sense to think about these things but obviously it doesn't matter at all in any significant way to the people they are trying to make inroads with or else they would have done otherwise. This sort of reporting by ABC isn't "news" to anyone, and to expect some sort of contrite behavior from these people is at best foolish and at worst guilty of stirring up class-envy. I credit "working" America with significantly more intelligence than this story does.

Even as their companies fail, Ford and GM CEOs continue lavish lifestyles. The CEOs of GM, Ford and Chrysler may have told Congress that they will likely go out of business without a bailout yet that has not stopped them from traveling in style, not even First Class is good enough. All three CEOs - Rick Wagoner of GM, Alan Mulally of Ford, and Robert Nardelli of Chrysler - exercised their perks Tuesday by flying in corporate jets to DC. Wagoner flew in GM's $36 million luxury aircraft to tell members of Congress that the company is burning through cash, asking for $10-12 billion for GM alone.
