So, while there may have been good reason for the execs. to take those jets to D.C., it just looked bad and that overshadows the whole episode. It's just a matter of looking at the big picture, will my actions reflect my actual intentions or will my actions make me appear to be less than forthright. If the CEO's couldn't see that flying to D.C. to ask for a bailout in private jets could reflect poorly on them, it makes me question their judgment on all other matters. And as stated earlier, most of these moves that they are now willing to make are in reaction to the outrage from their first visit to D.C. It was at the first hearings where only one CEO said that he would be willing to work for a dollar if he received a bailout, the other two stated that they would not. In fact, one CEO stated that he was quite comfortable where he was at and that he would not be willing to work for a dollar. So my question becomes: Are these the people that can lead the Big 3 to be profitable again, can they think outside of the box? I think that their cheese has been moved and they have no idea how to find it.
