Default Michael Eisner slumming it on JetBlue with the po' folk

It could be the flight that minimizes travel time.
If he has go all the to LAX he loses alot of time.
Or if he has to take flights scheduled two hours
later.

Besides J-B has a snippet of luxury. It has
leather seats and free TV.

$500 million in a money fund at 5% would yield roughly $68,493.00/day in
simple interest. Don't shave anything.

safety is a concern.

The majority of his wealth has been hidden for tax purposes.

Hardly anyone?
except people who watched The Wonderful World of Disney; Disney
specials; Disney holiday parades and I am guessing the Disney
Channel.... most people with children have seen one or more of the
above... as well as most people without children.
