Could that possibly be due to your not deriving any income from your
flying activities on which you pay taxes?

It could be. I have my own business too and am familiar with tax rules.
However, I also know that with the right setup (and Jay certainly has
the right setup) one can excercise considerable discretion as to how one
allocates "business purpose" and how much "ancillary pleasure" one can
derive at government expense through that allocation.

Perhaps I could become the "flying tutor" and get the government to pay
for some spectacular cross country trips. And even get money back for
my "tax loss".
