if he only wants to pay for HIS seat, then everyone else on that flight needs to pay for theirs also!!! Or maybe Price should pay the whole cost of the flights and then "settle up" with the other passengers. Kind of like when one person pays for dinner at a restaurant and everyone else gives him/her the money for their own meal.

They aren't all that well paid and very likely are not millionaires or billionaires.
I think he mentioned a security detail as well (for overseas trips)... secret service?
Anyway, nobody else should pay for the seat... they are there doing jobs that they were ordered to do... and had no input into chartering a passenger jet for the trip.

(14,918 posts)and not just the one seat he personally occupied. If he represented to others that it would be "free," that should be his problem and not theirs or the taxpayers'. If this hadn't been exposed, he would have kept this up for the next 4 years and so would have Mnuchin, Pruitt, Zinke and the whole rotten gang of thieves. Each one should have to pay the cost of each flight. I don't know the letter of the laws that govern this, but to me it is felony-level theft of public resources. And I agree that thay should be transparent about whom they are hobnobbing with on the clock and treating to "free" charter flights.
