Do people really think that it's worth it for the CEO of a major corporation to hop on a southwest flight to DC? Their time is pretty valuable, they can't hold a meeting or talk about strategy or do business on a southwest flight, or waiting in line for security. I get it, it looks awful, but come on.
Also with the private jets that oil companies have, they are necessary. With people flying up to the mine daily, it's a complete waste of time to take a commercial jet for a one hour flight.
