I Tracked UPMC's Jet for 2 Years. Here's Where It Went

I tracked UPMC's private jet for 2 years — 311 flights to Grand Cayman, Boca Raton, Ireland and Italy while the Pittsburgh nonprofit hospital laid off 1,000+ workers. Flight records, tax filings and Cayman companies show where the jet went and what UPMC gave back in charity care. In this video, I go through the flight data, UPMC's tax returns and its four Cayman Islands companies, and ask what a nonprofit gives back for tax breaks researchers estimate at about $1.8 billion a year. The flight data shows where the jet went. It can't show who was on board or why, and UPMC hasn't said. 0:00 A nonprofit hospital's jet in Grand Cayman 3:31 Layoffs while the jet kept flying 4:41 Is this normal for a nonprofit? 5:06 UPMC's private jet history 6:00 How I know this is UPMC's jet 7:13 What UPMC's tax returns show 8:29 Where the jet goes: Ireland, Italy, Croatia, South Africa 10:00 The people at the top 10:54 UPMC's insurance plan and premiums 11:19 What a nonprofit is supposed to give back 12:23 How much UPMC actually gives back 13:27 UPMC's Cayman Islands companies 14:18 The February trips to Grand Cayman 15:10 Maryland's offshore insurance probe 15:51 UPMC's best defense 16:08 So what is that trip for?
