A flight from Newark to Atlanta takes about 4.5 hours from my door to the hotel near BellSouth headquarters (flight time about 2 hours 15 minutes). If I were stupid enough to drive it, we're talking about 18 hours at 5-10 mph over the speed limit. Even that would beat Amtrak. And "conference calls" will not do the job in many cases. We would've lost a 50 mil contract if I couldn't have been face to face with the subject matter experts on one occasion (our competition *was* face to face with them).
