I think that you and teacherjh are the ones who are splitting hairs. It is
obvious that he will collect his paycheck for his employment...he wanted to
know what method was appropriate so that he could recover his costs.

Wrong subject line...you mean "Can I get reimbursed?" You obviously
cannot
get paid for flying.

Don't you think you're splitting hairs a little finely there? "Paid" does
not necessarily mean you have been hired. It simply means you've received
money. A reimbursement is just as much a payment as a paycheck is.

The thing I really don't get is that I'd have thought that you'd know the
answer to his question, but for some reason you didn't take the time to
comment on *that*. That would have been a more helpful reply than what
you
offered, I think.

Frederick: BTIZ's reply pretty much sums it up (his first one, that is
).
Since the flight is incidental to your business, you may be reimbursed
according to the FARs. You could even carry your coworkers, if they
wanted
to come along. However, as he says, your employer may not think it's such
a
great idea anyway. Corporate lawyers are notoriously jumpy about small
aircraft being used in the furtherance of company business.
