No it would have been better in the Senate member's eyes if he had shown up in a Chevy Volt...
for those complaining about him showing up in a private jet, think of this, to fly on a commercial airline you are required to arrive 1 to 2 hours before hand, from detroit to washington is probably a couple hour flight, If it takes off on time, and then it would depend on what the time of the meeting was scheduled and what times ther airlines had flights going to washington. He didn't know how long the meeting would last either so how can he purchase a round trip ticket? then to return to detroit he goes through this all again.. remember he is a CEO not some engineer that makes 150K a year, his time is more valuble than Joe Smoe the engineer... how much is his time worth to GM?
PS anyone have the airline schedule for the day of the meeting In Washington?
edit I just checked with Delta, and to schedule a flight first class from detroit to washington for a one day round trip, it costs $1,358.00 per person, the travel time is 4 hours and 53 minutes with one layover.
Was He the only passenger on the plane? I don't think people have thought this completely through.
