v.net...

The more cowardly BS I see from these companies, the more I realize that

I
will only ever be happy with my own company.


And when you do own your own company, will you happily accept the
liability for your employees to fly their own planes on company
business? One accident could wipe you out.


I can also get killed crossing the street. Actually I do own my own company
and I let my people travel any way they choose.


Are your "people" directly employed by your company and is the
business travel directly related to the business (not to-from work)?
I can't believe you'd have no restrictions whatsoever, as you imply
above. If an employee is a low-time VFR PPL you wouldn't mind if he
headed of to a job site in a complex single in marginal weather?
Granted, that's an extreme example, but it's the reason that most
companies have risk-management departments that issue draconian
restrictions. Given the current litigious climate (particularly in
aviation matters), you have to see a substantial benefit to private
flying on company business to justify the risk.
