Corporate Reimbursement Exceeding Cost...

[Richard]

Actually, we just rescheduled the meeting for Mid-November now (not beacuse of weather).

Lets hope for good weather then!

Better is to hope for you to have your IR by then.

Remember, it's not an issue until someone feels compelled to write a letter to the Chief Counsel for "clarification".

How many times on this board have you seen the phrase "Let me run this by the Chief Counsel" or "I think I'll write the Chief Counsel and see what they say".

Be careful what you wish for, you just may get it.

Ya...asking the FAA is like playing Russian Roulette

Have you heard anything on efforts to get Mangiamele retracted?

Nothing new.

That is incredibly gay. So I have to ask my coworker to submit for the reimbursement, and then have her give me a prorational share?

Yup. And you end up eating no less than half the cost.

Or I can go alone and make her drive?

That's your choice.

That has to be the worst Chief Counsel interpretation I've ever seen.

I agree, and so it appears does AOPA, but it won't be fixed quickly.

Or both - fly one leg, get company reimbursement. Co-worker drives rental car one way, flies other leg with you and pro-rates you for half that leg and gets reimbursed for both expenses.

You lost me on that one, but I'm pretty sure that somebody's going to be breaking an FAA rule or defrauding the company or both. Either that, or the rental car company is going to be very annoyed when someone tells them their car was left a couple of hundred driving miles away.

Sometimes it works out. The Kortokrax interpretation (and those residual from it) and the one saying it was OK for CFI-IA's to log their trainee's approaches for their own currency worked out OK, and as far as I can tell, nobody thought they could give instruction when neither they nor their trainee had landing currency until Kortokrax asked the question. But I agree that most of the time on administrative issues like this, it's better not to ask and then don't attract attention.
