Subject: Re: Oxy, Vicki being interviewed right now
Someone should tap Vicki on the shoulder and remind her that if she's flying around on the OXY corporate jet it better be about business.

In my rare experience in those circles, I once took a top oil company exec to his corporate jet to fly from Nantucket to Alaska for some salmon fishing. It seemed a bit over the top. A few days before he was very critical about Exxon's slow response to the Exxon Valdez debacle. He was certain he would have been much more engaged, more on the scene, would made better and quicker decisions. As we drove through a side gate onto the runway he said "I'm just glad I'm not headed for the North Sea. We had a tanker stuck on a sandbar yesterday afternoon, which floated free at 2 am with the high tide." He was not comfortable without his jet to keep him available and ready to respond 24/7. Not sure it wasn't an inflated idea of his importance, but that was how he thought and worked.
