According to the Associated Press, Rep. Bob Ney (R-OH) is no longer flying the really friendly skies:

An Ohio lawmaker whose travel is under scrutiny stopped accepting paid trips for himself and his staff shortly after questions were raised about who funded his trip to Scotland with lobbyist Jack Abramoff.

After accepting 131 trips worth $234,775 in 4 1/2 years, Rep. Bob Ney and his staff haven’t let a private outside group pay for their travel since June 14, 2005, according to an Associated Press review of travel disclosure forms Ney’s office filed with the House clerk.
