Default Companies Allowing Employees to Fly

Hewlett Packard used to allow it when the president was a pilot
and the executive suite was mostly rated. Took IR and 3 million
smooth policy. Try buying that sometime.

There were two categories: Company benefit and personal benefit.

On personal, you could only have members of you family on board.

Long since gone. Carly flew too, but on a different scale :-\

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?

When I worked for Texas Instruments we had a specific policy AGAINST it.
I had several occasions that would have been nice. When Raytheon bought
the defense business of TI, I checked the policy and we COULD use
personal aircraft. But, then again, Raytheon owns Beech.
