Question...

I have to do a lot of regional travel for my company and, due to the
work we do, most of my work is actually at airports. I've asked my
company if I can use my personal aircraft for a lot of this travel and
they denied my request due to what the company percieves as their
liability in the matter.
Is my company misguided or do they really have some liability if I use
my airplane instead of my car for regional travel? What's the
difference between me crashing my airplane into a school (their
example) or plowing my car into the same school's bus stop?


Back in the late 1980's-early 1990's, (I think it was National Business
Aircraft Association) had a packet available for just this purpose. It
outlined how to approach your management and counter their arguements
against allowing individuals to use personal aircraft. One of the items
was to include the business as a named insured on the owners policy and
also included some insurance guidelines.
You might contact them and see if such a packet is still available.
