Sounds like Orren Boyle wants to get rid of Reardon Metal by any means necessary.

So you would rather the best people stay in private industry so that buffoons can continue to run government agencies(like the DMV, passport office, immigration services, etc)?

Not having the same salary is understood but being treated like an actual executive shouldn't be out of the question.

I am curious. How many people do you know who make $300k/year fly coach? Is it none?

Government jobs will NEVER pay the same as comperable private industry jobs. Do you think people take federal jobs just out of patriotism? They do it because it will pay the bills. For the government to compete with private industry to attract competant people, they SHOULD be allowed to provide perks, like first-class flights, to their top executives. Now if the Smithsonian's night security manager was flying first class, that's a different issue.
