Hey, do whatever you want to do, it doesn't really make much difference to
me. But you might want to keep this in mind:
Liability extends after death, into the decedent's estate. So what you
would
probably end up with is your company's insuror in a ****ing contest with
your private insuror while the sheriff puts your wife and kids in the
street
while taking your house and anything else you own.
All of us accept risks; there are no certainties in life. But to me, it's
pretty foolish to accept a risk when you don't know what liability is
attached to it...
I don't see how flying on business has any more risk to the pilot or his
estate than flying to a pancake breakfast. Either you're willing to take
the risk to fly, drive your car, or walk down the sidewalk, or you're not...
The thing you risk by not following company policy is losing your job.
Where I work, we have a company policy against using your personal aircraft
for business travel. The clever/deviant/nonconformer pilots amongst us have
often considered borrowing someone else's airplane to make a trip, because
that wouldn't violate the letter of the policy. Intent is another thing....
