Muellers' a senior executive with international scope and thus the need is justified. Note, further in the story, he logs 180Hrs/year

Gulfstream V operating cost: math from the article, $4,000 per hour, his share, $720,000.

Cessna Citation operating cost: about $1,500 per hour, cost to fly 180 hours, $270,000.

Annual savings to the taxpayer should he fly the Cessna like he's supposed to: $450,000.

Add to that.... Who is flying in the Cessna now? Which mid-level flunkie graduated from flying commericial to flying in the Cessna because it wasn't busy flying the Mueller? :)
