Stung by criticism over its use of private planes, bailout-seeking GM has decided to make a change, but not by curtailing its use of private planes. No, it has asked the FAA to make it impossible for the public to track its use of private planes:
General Motors Corp., criticized by U.S. lawmakers for its use of corporate jets, asked aviation regulators to block the public’s ability to track a plane it uses.
“We availed ourselves of the option as others do to have the aircraft removed” from a Federal Aviation Administration tracking service, a GM spokesman, Greg Martin, said yesterday in an interview. He declined to discuss why GM made the request.
