Why don't you ask what would happen to the company were the plane to
crash with all of you on board?

There wasn't a single project I've worked on where more than two Snr.
Engineers were allowed to fly on the same plane together or share the
same taxi. REGARDLESS OF COST!

When visiting companies in Antwerp we weren't allowed to use our own
cars once we got there. Taxis, regardless of cost, for company business
or for personal use in the evenings. The company I worked for reckoned
the driving standard was that bad there.

My company wasn't that careful when I was suggested to spend six months in
Cairo, Egypt.
