Totally agree. I'm not usually in the habit of defending millionaires. But I thought there used to be a justification for private jet travel of maximizing the CEO's time. The company is investing $20M per year in this asset and he's probably flying for meetings all the time and if a private jet cuts a couple hours of airport transit / wait time off of each flight it's probably worth it for the increased amount of meetings he can attend.
Maybe that can be achieved for less than $1.7M, I'm not informed enough. This source https://simpleflying.com/gulftream-g700-cost-to-own-operate-.... says it's a little more than $2M per year to operate a Gulfstream G700, I don't know what kind of jets CEOs are using these days.
