I'm very close to this industry and know what it takes to move high visibility individuals from point a to point b (regardless of how you feel about them). Commercial doesn't make sense, never has, never will. As I said before, we're making a mountain out of a molehill because we dont like her.
She made the mountain and then climbed to the top of it to preach to the "underlings" how everyone has to do their part for Climate Change.

High Profile Movie Stars fly Commerical Every day. Even "Senator" Biden rode the rails every weekend if you want to believe what he is telling us. Airports are supposed to be a secured area, so it is probably one of the few areas where she would actually be safer without much(if any) extra effort. There is no "logistical" reason she could not fly on a commercial flight.

You are right a lot of people don't like her. But it is because of this type of hypocrisy as to why they don't like her.

I want you to go into all the threads that are bashing "conservatives" and tell them they don't need to nitpick so much and to be better people.
I do and I have. That said, I try not to waste my time convincing those who are already convinced. Which seems to be the cases here...

This is another thing the congress needs to handle when they finish passing the no stock trades. How many times should a congressperson return to the district on the taxpayer's dime. Now the speaker can do what they please.

Paid for by her campaign, not tax dollars, according to both the link in the OP and Fox.

Quote:
According to campaign filings with the Federal Election Commission, Pelosi’s campaign paid a Virginia-based private aviation provider, Advanced Aviation Team, over $437,000 between October 2020 and December 2021 and over $65,000 to Clay Lacy Aviation, a California-based private jet provider.
Pelosi spent over $500K on private jets despite claiming ‘we have a moral obligation’ to reduce emissions

commercial carriers.
Private or commercial makes no difference. The jet engines on them all are creating the pollution.

There's nothing passengers can do about it.

I'm not crying water for anyone. The facts are the facts. If you don't want the jet engines to contaminate the air we all share, take it up with the engine manufacturers.

That's where your gripe is.

I'm sure Pelosi makes numerous cross-country flights from her home state California to D.C.

Problem is, she can take a commercial flight which is already in the air polluting, instead of placing another jet in the air. Now you have a additional unessisariy flight polluting.

commercial makes perfect sense and it's 2022 not 1922 it's plenty easy to get her anywhere she needs to be commercially.
Point is don't preach to people to make a million sacrifices that combined will save less energy than she would by not flying private.

She is the modern day Marie Antoinette, “Let hem eat cake” peasants!

Why don’t they just do zoom conferences?
