It's all driven by $$$.

No, it's driven by poor planning and management.

There have been a couple of examples where the
entire management team of a company was killed in a bizjet crash.

Only a couple? There are LOTS more examples of entire businesses failing
other ways. How can this be a significant risk?

It is a very significant event when you lose the CEO, the COO, the CFO,
and a
couple of other VPs at the same time, along with their supporting
people.

We're not talking about putting a 20-person team on the same airplane.

But even if we were, a company that is truly worried about the loss of
personnel needs to ensure that they have a backup plan in the event of that
loss. Airplane crashes aren't the only way to kill large numbers of people
all at the same time.

A well-managed company would have contingencies to deal with catastrophic
loss.

As far as other forms of travel being riskier, the business aviation
sector does not have a particularly good record in comparison to airline
or highway travel.

Funny you should lump airlines and highway travel together. They are not at
all similar in risk. Highway travel is much more similar to business GA
than to airlines.
