Rick should have flown business class. I'm sure a direct flight from Detroit to DC could have easily been found even if he had to leave the night before.

As for idle time, that's what cell phones and laptops are for in today's world. So that is a non-excuse.

Information pertaining to GM and Ford saying that their executives can't fly public and need to fly private is yet another showing of the excess these companies have indulged in. Take a look at this story for how someone handles economics the right way:

No that makes no sense. I don't want the CEO of my company sitting in public discussing high-level business matters, especially while being briefed and re-hearsing for a SENATE HEARING. seriously people!
