Where are the customers' jets?
» Posted by Martin Weil on January 07, 2008
A private banker told me last year about a New York real-estate magnate who asked his 11-year-old daughter what she wanted for her birthday.
Her answer: a ride on an American Airlines plane.
"But we have our own jet," the magnate replied.
"I know, but I want to ride on a big plane with other people," she said. "I want to see what an airport looks like on the inside."
