When the CEOs of GM, Chrysler and Ford when to Congress looking for huge loans, it turns out they took the corporate jets. The press jumped all over the CEOs for their actions. From a public relations perspective, I can see how it would look bad. You go asking for money yet you take a private jet… yea, does not look good.
I’m not going to fault the management for flying the corporate jet(s), I don’t have much of a problem with that, but I do take issue with the response to the negative press – the CEOs decided to drive to DC AND they publicize it.
This is just a blatant play to the American people. It’s the CEOs trying to say “we care”. It’s the corporations trying to look good. It’s a PR stunt trying to gain support for their loan packages.
Americans may be unintelligent but they are not stupid. The public can see through such a stunt. Wake up automotive CEOs!
