In the cnn report on the same subject, the GM spokesman claims its based on the need for safety of the individuals flying. I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that the safety record of commercial aviation is equal to, if not better than private jets, simply based on the number of people who fly everyday divided by the extremely low mishap rate. The difference, if any, is definitely not worth the dinero wasted on these no talent ass clowns anyways.
