I am pretty sure this isn’t new. Air travel is like any other business travel expense, and plane are an expense like a plumbers van is..

    Plumbers actually need their vans to get their stuff around but for these business people there’s no real reason they can’t fly in a normal plane like everyone else. They can fly fancy, but this whole private plane nonsense is comepletely absurd.

    There are so many uses for private aircraft. It isn’t all executives benefits

    Might be nice to make that distinction, and have caps.

    Millions to move an executive around makes no sense. Even if the route and timing can't work using commercial, you can still fly a cheaper turboprop for people moving.

    A freight company needing millions to move packages, ok, sure.

    Literally no one needs a private plane.

    NFL teams would cause a riot if they flew commercial..

    It is cheaper for College sports to use private planes.

    Oil companies fly to remote places all the time on irregular schedules.

    One of my friend owns a demolition company that blows up shit all over the world, his company literally can not use commercial planes.
