The Republican presidential hopeful anted up more than $122,000 last summer alone for jets traceable to casino kingpin Sheldon Adelson, whose Las Vegas Sands empire has made him the third-richest American, a Daily News review of campaign records shows.

Last quarter, The Sands' innocuously named Interface Operations LLC was the top provider of corporate jets to the frequently flying Giuliani, who was whisked around the country on the casino's plush Gulfstream G-IV in late August and early September, records show.

"You have to follow the money and ask, 'Why is Sheldon Adelson partnering with Rudy Giuliani?'" asked Stacey Cargill, an anti-gambling and Republican Party activist in Iowa, where the nation's first presidential caucus is set for Jan. 3. (more ..)

these vultures operate with the blessing and direct assistance of
George Bu$h, probably because they kick back a lot of the stolen african AIDs money to ReThugs in campaign contributions

2. American politicans

All think they should ride in private jets like the CEOs they do business with. Their arrogance and abuse is historic. They act like little Lords.

After 911 the airlines (can't remember which one) invested in private business jets for the elite. I found that outrageous.

The security and airline involvement in 911 was neglectful and very suspect. They above all profited. We still pay public funds to private foreign security firms at our airports. The Congress promised us it would be "federalized". It was but only for the security inspectors. Even after all that they are still not doing a very good job because it is about fear and profit isn't it?

We visited Cedar Rapids, MI one time and drove to see what the airport was like. We were considering a company move. They refused us entrance into the airport because VP Cheney was there with Air Force One (probably trying to impress Amway CEOs). VP Cheney does have his own plane. That is for the President isn't it...only?

Early on in this administration remember the Texas Repubs in that nuclear sub sinking that Chinese ship of students? Some video game eh?

Abuse of power by this administration is a every day thing. The fact that Congress won't impeach makes them part of the problem (and robbery).

3. American Airlines for sure .. maybe United too.

They saw the opportunities in fractional ownership and/or charter of fleets of business jets. Small business jets are one reason the air traffic control system is so screwed up to day. A former senior VP at GTE/Verizon used to take the corporate Gulfstream to meetings and fly ALONE! He made his staff take the airlines. A Gulfstream-V with a crew of two and one passenger takes the exact same amount of airspace and air traffic control resources as a Boeing 757 with 175 passengers and a crew of 8! Not to mention the obscenely wasteful per-seat-mile fuel burn of that Verizon VPs Gulfstream trips.
