Overly restrictive business flying requirements.

I agree with Rick, and others here, that is a most reasonable policy.
I do work for Toyota and GM, and you can't fly on GA, or chartered
aircraft. Only scheduled airline flights.

What do their executives fly on?

I'm not sure if that will
change when when/if they decided to build GA aircraft.

The big difference is "COST". They'll gladly spend $5 a mile for an
executive, but want to reimburse 30 cents for other peons.


That is because a jet makes economic sense when you are sending several
people who collectively cost $5000/hr and a corporate jet has about the
same
risk as commercial air travel.

Yes...I know; I've known it for a long time. But $5000 is a lot for a few
hookers :~)

Neither apply to having a lower wage,
private pilot employee fly himself.

A business exists to make money for its owners, not to accommadate the
hobbies and passions of its employees.

How that last relates to the subject I'll have to figure out.

That is suprising since Toyota bought the AirFlite FBO in Long Beach for
executive transport.

Again the only real level of freedom is your own busines. With risk
comes reward.

Interesting, I know that last week they sent out an email to reafirm
the standard policy that prohibited chartered flights.

There are multiple Toyota afilliated(support) companies this could one
of those and they might have a different policy.

I once had an employer who would not authorize me to fly business trips
because "I don't think single engine airplanes are safe." His point was he
was protecting me. Not much I could do about it. Quitting wasn't an option.
I needed the $$ more than time in the log book. It's all a matter of
priorities, isn't it?
