This just shows how stupid these guys are. At first it might seem they may save a couple bucks driving instead of flying, but the loss of time they aren’t doing their job while on the road has to amount to substantially more loss in paid wage than the savings from driving. Shouldn’t they be maximizing their time trying to save their failing companies instead of being on a road trip? If I were Congress, I’d take it as another sign of mismanagement of resources and utter stupidity.
