I got a few things wrong! The 737-500 figure should be .25 lbs/km, or .41 lbs/mile. And yes, my mileage comparisons are wrong - 13,000 solo miles in the F-150 is comparable, per-person, to 30,000 miles in a 737-500! These figures are just based on rough estimates pulled from the web, so they're not precise, but this is consistent with another post that said solo F-150 travel isn't worse (per passenger mile) than a loaded private jet.

Again, the point isn't to excuse private jets. But the media coverage makes it seem like it's an overwhelmingly huge part of the problem. It's bad, for sure, but so are a bunch of choices far more individuals are making.
