Corbett is being flown around by Empire Beauty Schools [View all]

"On his disclosure forms, Corbett also listed travel to a November meeting of Penn State's Board of Directors ($812); the February 2011 meeting of the Republican Governors Association ($994) in Washington, D.C.; and air travel ($1,405) to Pittsburgh in December 2011.

The travel was provided by Empire Education Group in Pottsville and the price tag was based on the "fair-market value of a first-class plane ticket," the disclosure form reads."

Excerpt from article about financial disclosure forms:

Empire Education Group is the parent company of a set of beauty schools, including Empire Beauty Schools. Since the article talks about the equivalent value, I'm guessing that he was using the corporate jet??
