I can't say I blame them, flew in a G3 once 37 minutes for what was normally 8 hrs of driving.
After what Rand Paul went through the other day at the airport with the crazies harassing him, maybe it should be a security perk from now on.
More importantly what does it say about flying commercial, no one wants to do it anymore, it sucks....
Flying commercial always sucks when there is a general or military aviation alternative. For high profile elected or appointed officials, general aviation should be encouraged within reason. Cabinet level people should have official business flights provided to them by the military or private contractors. Those Reserve pilots need all the seat time they can get.
