One hell of a commute
Dealbook | Leavin' on a jet plane...

Some high school students will be making their way back to school this week on a bus, or, if they are lucky, in their very own car. But the stepdaughter of Edward Mueller, the new chief executive of Qwest Communications , has a much fancier option.

A regulatory filing made Friday, on the eve of the holiday weekend, disclosed that Qwest has authorized Mr. Mueller’s wife and her daughter to use Qwest’s corporate jet to travel between Denver, where the telecommunications company is based, and California, where Mr. Mueller’s stepdaughter is finishing high school.

Footnoted.org, which looks for interesting nuggets among corporate filings, estimated that the corporate-jet perk could be costing Qwest as much as $600,000, based on normal charter rates for the Falcon 2000. “As for me, it certainly beats the B-64 bus that I used to take to high school,” Michelle Leder wrote.
