Its happened again
Well,
Another week and another group of passengers are
trapped on an airliner.
Although the CEO has apologized to the customers, why would people constantly take a chance that this would happen to them? It's because they do not feel that they have a viable alternative.
The truth is we do have an alternative.
With some training just about anyone can earn a pilots license and fly themselves on their trips. It works just like taking your personal car/truck on a trip, but at 2 - 3 times the speed. The best part is that on trip of less than 650 miles it's faster than the airlines, and for trips with less than 7 days notice or trips with 2 or more people it's cheaper!
Go ahead and take a look - even if you ultimately decide against it, you won't regret the exploration

Have you ever...
had one of your employees come to you and ask if they could fly their personal plane on company business?
If so, you probably didn't have an answer at hand. If you spoke to your company legal adviser, you probably heard a resounding no.
But, what if you want to say yes - or at the very least determine if yes or no is the correct answer?
Have I got a deal for you! At Horizons Aloft we are launching our newest service. An aviation consultant will work with you to detail the risks versus rewards and come up with the strategy that best fits your organization. Drop by Horizons Aloft to learn all about it.

General Aviation – the High Security option?
Yes, you read that right – those small planes where passengers are not required to undergo virtual strip searches are the ultimate in high security air travel. Don’t believe me – just ask any Fortune 500 executive who travels to the Middle East, Africa, or Mexico.
Of course, the news media and the government security types are up in arms over private planes because they lack those very intrusive security screens. And from a 50,000 foot view (so to speak) they have a slightly valid point. What these folks do not understand is that these planes are ultimately the MOST secure because the passengers and pilots know each other. As a pilot, I certainly not going to invite some suspicious person to travel with me and I doubt any other pilots would either. What the government wants is total control and private aviation scares them due to its independence.
With all the recent concern about airline security (such as the “underwear” bomber) I believe it is incumbent upon all business owners to see if they can engage private aviation to better protect their employees, while increasing their mobility and effectiveness.
This one goes into the Win-Win column from my point of view
