If you look at from the cost per seat mile perspective, yes.

It it's always full.

"In its commercial configuration the 757-200 usually
seats 175-190 passengers."

Lets call it 180 seats.

No, let's call it 42 since that's the number of business class seats on the
plane she (or whomever) was talking about. The plane in question is not the
commercial 757, but a customized version with far fewer seats.

Given the OP's assertion:

CNN reports that Nancy's B757 operating costs are $22,000.00 an
hour.

That works out to $122.22 per hour at what, 500 knots?

$523.81/hour/seat each way.

Regardless, it seems this story has been made to be larger than it really
is. The Speaker is second in line to succeed the President and is entitled
to more security than most other public servants. While the use of the C-32
was apparently an option, it appears she didn't specifically request it, but
rather a plane with transcontinental range.

Let's get real here for a moment. Speaker Hastert utilized a C-20B,
which was wasteful enough to give to a Congressman. Why isn't that good
enough for Pelosi? If she uses the "transcontinental range" excuse
because she doesn't feel like stopping, it's pure baloney. The C-20 is
a Gulfstream III, which has more than enough range to get from
Washington DC to San Fransisco. Unless Washington has floated out to
sea on all of this hot air.

Good grief, the government types need to cut this crap out with our
money! A first class ticket and security detail would be cheap.

Geez, I used to think $125 an hours was expensive.


It's a lot cheaper when it is paid for with somebody else's money.

Cheney's entourage includes a C-17 Globemaster

http://www.indymedia.ie/article/79883 [includes photo]
As Vice President Dick Cheney passed through Shannon Airport this morning on
his way to a meeting with King Abdullah bin Abdul Aziz al-Saud of Saudi
Arabia. Cheney is due through Shannon again later tonight. According toUS
news channel CNN "the brevity of Cheney's visit underlies the growing sense
of urgency after a series of events highlighting an increasingly unstable
Middle East". It is also rumored that George W Bush will fly through Shannon
Airport this Tuesday on his way to Jordan.

Earlier this week it was reported by a source at Shannon Airport that a US
Air Force C17 Globemaster was on the runway. This massive cargo plane is one
of 53 C17's that operate from Charlestown Air, South Carolina, home to the
437th and 315th Airlift Wing. This is the second C17 to confirmed visit to
Ireland this year. An Gardai Siochana and the Irish Defence Forces are
guarding the plane in the centre security zone in the middle of the
aerodrome. It is suspected that this plane carrying part of the security
detail and an armored limousine should the Vice President need to leave the
airport.

More to the point, the Vice President's entourage includes a plane to
transport his bulletproof limousine. Does anybody here really think the
Democrats would cease this practice if they win the White House in '08?

Nope.

But, I believe the point here is that it's hard for the Republicans to bash
on Pelosi for how much GREENHOUSE GASSES her friggin' alleged airplane,
which she doesn't have and hasn't used and according to the WHITE HOUSE
didn't request, when they're doing the same thing.

I'm not a Republican or a Democrat. ALL I EXPECT from those *******s is
that they start putting truth, integrity and the american people ahead of
their own party interest. Until then, they're all equally worthless.
