Apple's Board Insisting CEO Tim Cook Fly Private Jets: Apple's board of directors is now making CEO Tim Cook fly on private aircraft when he travels, whether it's for work or pleasure - claiming it’s in the interest of security and efficiency. Well, at least now the poor guy won’t be bothered by some jerk sitting next to him and talking too loud on their iPhone. On the downside, I’ll bet his baggage and carry-on fees probably went up.
