Just look at these recent news blurbs and decide for yourself.

"Citigroup, the banking giant which is being propped up with funds from the US taxpayer, has scrapped plans to take delivery of a $50m corporate jet, after a public outcry and a reprimand from President Barack Obama."

"Just after lawmakers scolded auto executives for flying to Washington in private jets, Congress approved a tax break in the stimulus package to help businesses buy their own planes."
"At least $23.8 billion in corporate tax breaks have been included in the $825 billion bailout in order to win backing from key business groups and their Congressional allies"
"The aviation industry, which is cutting jobs as it suffers from declining shipments and canceled orders..."
I already know the response. "these new potential buyers aren't asking for a bailout". If you look at the stimulus package and listen to the politicians, we all are in need of a bailout. The bailout is for propping up almost everyone.
