NetJets crash in Laredo TX

The death of a CEO is a HUGE deal and can break a company or if they are REALLY lucky, set back progress by 6-18 months.

Many company policies forbid multiple C-levels in the same plane, forbid rotorcraft, prop driven aircraft, and dangerous activities.

Crash That Killed In-N-Out Officers Is Investigated

“In-N-Out President Richard A. Snyder of Newport Beach and Executive Vice President Philip R. West of Irvine apparently had broken a longstanding rule about not flying together and were both aboard the chartered jet.”—LA Times, 1993.

Even with these policies in place they’re sometimes broken. More disciplined entities will launch multiple AC. There are more tailored security/privacy aspects that interpret aviation safety into a very unique blend, that 121 op specs alone wouldn’t necessarily be an improvement upon. The unfortunate fact are the facts that would correct the misperception of “91 cowboys” are very well protected under the strict adherence of “private aviation”. But that facts that don’t are very much in abundance. Often with glaring results.
