Orders for Gulfstream's G650 soaring, extend through 2017
Strong international orders have grown Savannah-based Gulfstream Aerospace ’s business during a challenging market, the company’s president said this week, reports the Savannah Morning News.

I just hope that the businesses making these purchases aren't the same who took government bailout money. Good for Gulfstream though..keep up the good work.
Why's that? The reason companies buy corporate jets is to use them as a business tool to increase revenue and profits.

I have no idea why you would give a company money and then make it difficult for them to conduct business and get new customers.

The companies should have been more responsible from the get go so they wouldn't need a government bailout. And if they have received one, then I'm sure there are many other things they should be worrying about than buying G6's. There are other more cost effective ways to cover the company's transportation needs. I'm not against companies owning or using private jets, just not on my dollar.
Do you fly for AIG Daniel?

Your statements are contradictory. If you believe in companies owning and using private jets, then they're good for business. If you don't, you don't. You can't be in favor of them in general but be opposed to them based on past funding of the company.
Your AIG question is a argumentum ad hominem so I won't respond.

The statements are not contradictory. We obviously have different opinions on the matter.
I guess your argument is valid and not contradictory if your intention is to have companies "on your dollar" be less successful.
You do realize that the companies are paying back the TARP loans, right? With the money they earn doing things like ... flying jets to conduct business.
Yeah, But how much revenue does a multimillion-dollar jet create?
