Wow. That is interesting. I am torn. I think that status does play a bit in this. I mean the military generals pretty much fly around on aircrafts that are pretty nicely equipped.

That is because they are MILITARY Generals. Usually go to and from command appointments.

I might consider a point system for Congresscritters. The more they actually present for a vote on the floor, the more points they earn to fly on Federally owned aircraft. Makes the gits work for their flight. If they are absent from a vote, then points are deducted. Also, if they kite checques at the house bank, then points are deducted.

I don’t know. I worked for a 3-Star GO, and we flew mostly in C-12s, and sometimes UC-35s. No one would consider a C-12 as nicely equipped. It was a decent aircraft, but the 7 or 8 seats were not nearly as nice as a coach class seat on a commercial airline. The UC-35 had 8 or so seats, and they were nice (about like a business class seat) but it was cramped, had a little tiny toilet, and no amenities. The advantage was were could get to places anytime, and we could fly into places commercial aircraft did not want to fly into. We actually always enjoyed coach seats on commercial flights more for comfort. The component commanders, Chief of Staff, and Secretaries did fly in better aircraft though. signed: Ward, June's husband.
