Companies Allowing Employees to Fly

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?

I believe what they are worried about is if you crashed into a
house or something that other people would sue your company. It
happens all the time and what they don't realize is that they
are also just as easily sued if you ran into someone with your car.

In this day and age people sue other people at the drop of a hat.
A plane crash is just more 'spectacular' for a lawyer because they
can play many angles (generally ignorance and envy) and end up
with a much bigger pot o'gold.

If it were me I'd just fly anyway, screw 'em. I hate driving.
