I sure do know about the Big 3. It's been showing on my teevee for six days and counting.

I have yet to learn of the modes of transport used by the Wall Street crowd.

Why's that?

2. If I had to guess, it would be the oil companies.

At least, before Conoco-Phillips there was just Phillips (as in Phillips 66). My ex-father-in-law was a Phillips executive and had his very own Gulfstream to fly him wherever he needed to go. I got to ride along on a few of those trips (yes, he had to pay the company an obscene amount for my ticket, as well as for the other family members). It was very nice. And fast. But his jet was only one of a fleet of 5 or 6. And Phillips, while a major oil company, wasn't one of the really big ones.

Conoco probably had a similar number, so I guessing the Conoco-Phillips now has a set of at least 8 jets (having eliminated a few in the merger).

He retired before the merger so I wouldn't really know.
