Girl Scouts and aviation??

Jay, I believe you but I really want to say "Are you kidding..." the
Girl Scout Manual says they are not permitted to fly in private
planes???!!! Does it really say that? I don't have a GS Manual handy

Sad, but true.

It's in a 1/2 inch thick book of rules called "Safety-wise". This is the
book that spells out ALL the Girl Scout safety regulations, including how
many adults are allowed on road trips, who may drive, etc.

But remember, the rule against flying is only for official, organized
Girl Scout activities....

That's a loophole you can driver a 747 thru...

Which brings up an interesting question....If John Travolta or one
of the executives at Boeing or Airbus offer a field trip to a troop
and the aircraft will be something like a 737, 747, A340, etc.
what's the policy? It's not Part 121. And if it's Travolta, it's
not part 135.

What's the policy?

The policy is that you need to understand the regulations better than you
obviously do.

Large transport aircraft such as the 737 and larger are covered by certain
portions of the transport rules (that is, not just Part 91) even if they are
not flown as commercial operations.

However, I fail to see what the type of aircraft has to do with the
"loophole" you claim exists. The "loophole" isn't a loophole at all, since
an activity that's not an official, organized Girl Scout activity wouldn't
incur any liability risk for the Girl Scouts. It certainly doesn't seem to
have anything to do with the type of the aircraft, or what portions of the
FARs apply to the flights.

How are the two questions related?
