Instead of selling your private jet like one-sixth of the U.K.'s owners, or simply using it less like Apple CEO Steve Jobs you should buy more and use them twice as much -- just to make people mad! Or to get more value out of your purchase, if you're Business Jet Traveler editor Stephen Pope, who argued that beyond 250 hours, owning all or part of your own plane is cheaper than you'd think.
Still, this "Team America"-style cheerleading is at least affecting one person: French prime minister Nicolas Sarkozy just dropped €176 million ($232 mill in USD) out of the French Air Force budget for an Airbus A330-200 that will be refitted with desks and overall seating for 60 passengers. In deference to the global downturn, though, he bought his used from Caribbean airline Air Caraibes, despite reports saying that Sarko really wanted a new one. These are difficult times.
