PR Lesson Learned--No Corporate Jets

How Are The Big Three CEO's Getting To DC This Time?
December 02, 2008 11:56 AM

It was a public relations disaster. The CEO's of the Big Three Autos came to Washington aboard corporate jets to ask for a tax payer bail out. Congress was none too happy. Well, the Big 3 are coming back later this week. Most importantly they'll be coming with newly revised plans for how they'll spend federal bail out dollars. But, in terms of symbolism, we're learning they'll also be parking the jets.

ABC's Charlie Herman reports from New York on how the CEOs plan to travel this week:

GM

CEO Rick Wagoner drives to DC in a Malibu Hybrid.

Don't know if he will be behind the wheel.

Ford

CEO Alan Mulally drives to DC in an Escape Hyrbid

Don't know if he will be behind the wheel.

Chrysler

No word yet.
