Yes, it makes sense. But we both know how the media can spin it. And there have been plenty of reports of the Big CEOs abusing jet priviledges, Wagoner included. If theres anytime to be symbolic its now. If it wasnt a time to be symbolic, why would Nardelli make a statement saying he'll work for a salary of $1?
Perception is as big a problem for GM as anything else. Thats why Im not convinced that this money will do any good. How can they be certain the public wants to buy GM vehicles again, just because their good? Toyotas could be catching on fire spontaneously, but half the country would still buy them...
