Don't worry. I'm sure an even more dire prediction will be attached to a call for the curtailing of even more U.S. economic activity.

Can't these dickheads fly somewhere else and take a train, their pissing away fuel flying around the world, shlt for that matter they could do this by teleconference. Send in their idea on a post-it note.

It's just not the same taking your girlfriend/personal assistant to a teleconference. You got the jet, you the man!
 These gatherings are really just big parties.

The irony in that news is excellent.

No nasty flight attendants, and you get to eat whatever you want, and drinks are on the house. When Pelican gets to that stage, call SingPilot and both of us would be happy to fly you around the world. Joe PS (who is leaving Windsor Locks CT in 3 hours in a private jet for Berlin, then Dubai and Moscow by the weekend) PSS You guys have no concept of the amount of money wasted by some of these people. Many of these people who say they are concerned about the environment and our world then ride with 1 or 2 people in a jet around the world. When you start looking at the costs it simply boggles the mind.

You forgot sitting on the runway, waiting for ATC to let you go!

Real dirt bags in the proper sense of the words then. I canīt say I have any moral issues driving my cat less 911 in that company.

Hell, I would be happy to just own a twin Cessna! Someday maybe
Around 200 knots with the safety of a twin with a GPS/weather combo unit would = total freedom to travel often for me.
