default on them :lol:WTF is this? I'm interested to see how Congress reacts to this bogus purchase. *wonders if I should cancel my credit card with them*

I should. My bill this next month is the highest it's ever been.

Well good thing the government is now in control of so many private sector companies to stop such silliness!
Citi has the Government Travel Card program since November 08. :lol:WTF is this? I'm interested to see how Congress reacts to this bogus purchase. *wonders if I should cancel my credit card with them*
I'll bet that new jet has a smaller carbon footprint with improved efficiency.I heard that at the same time they were also selling 2 older jets for 25M each so it all balances out in the end. Where's the beef?

Compared to two older jets? I bet you are right.
Citi can fly commercial just like the rest of us as far as I'm concerned.
I have since read that they ordered this NEW Jet a while ago, also that at that time they considered themselves to be flush with cash.
Unable to understand why they would order a Jet built in France, by a French Company.
Guess Boeing do not build Jets such as these?
Citi has already answered that this purchase was set way in advance and that canceling would result in huge penalties. This plane is suppose to help reduce their air fleet, and they intend to charter it out.WTF is this?

Apparently, they have decided NOT to buy the new jet.

Oh. Thanks. Yay!
Please tell us you're not going to defend or make excuses for the flagrant spending that takes place in large corporations while laying off employees. Didn't Citi Group lay off about 10,000 recently? Not buying that jet and using the money for employment, they could have hired 1000 people at $50,000 a year. corporations cannot be trusted to do anything except whatever shoves more money in executive pockets. They don't care about their country, their employees or the quality of their product.Well good thing the government is now in control of so many private sector companies to stop such silliness!

ABC News: High-Flying Citigroup Grounds Plans for $50M Jet
One could well ask why they need 2 Jet Aircraft?
Quote from article
(And this week, ousted Merrill Lynch CEO John Thain said he would personally cough up the $1 million he spent on remodeling his office after his brokerage was rescued with billions in taxpayer cash.)
Why would anyone want to spend $1,000,000 making over an office?
