Quote from S2007S:

Wow who would have thought this could happen to this company that has ALWAYS sold overpriced coffee. I dont care how great your business model is, there is always going to be a time where your just not going to be on top of the world and today starbucks is finally realizing this after selling their corporate jet, closing stores and laying off thousands of people.

Yeah, they're selling the Gulfstream but they still have this beauty:

Well, if the weather wasn't bad, you could have flown on a commercial jet.

Why does it have to be a corporate private jet?

Unless you're flying in the damn thing almost everyday and it's packed with employees, I don't see the cost advantage over commercial.

Again I'm not saying its right. I don't see the books to see if its cost effective. Taking a commercial flight can easily add up to 3 hours for the round trip with security.
