The company I work for will not allow use of a personal aircraft for company business. Also, they provide a life
insurance policy for all employees, and you guessed it, it will not pay if you die in a private plane. You can die in a
motorcycle crash, but not a light plane. Makes no sense....


Of course it does, airplanes are scary, but at least they are not as
scary as my .22 target pistol...

Common sense is not very common in this day and age.
