Allegations of corruption involving government officials in New York and New Jersey. I'm shocked, shocked I tell you!

One of the claims is that United set up an EWR-CAE flight to curry favor with the chairman of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. It seems that he had a home in the Great State of South Carolina.

Back in the Pan Am days there was a JFK-BDA flight operated by a 727 that often ran empty. It was for the convenience of CEO Ed Acker who had a house in Bermuda.
