Corporate Aircraft Security

I am a corporate pilot flying a Falcon 50 for a large corporation in the U.S.A. I know every person that flies on our airplane, or they have been approved to be on board by our CEO.
I do not have any concerns regarding passengers taking control of my airplane.

Shared ownership programs are generally considered corporate operators. I think this is unfortunate. It is two totally opposite ways of operating. Shared ownership programs should be considered as a "For Hire" organization with regards to security issues. They should be required to screen all pax prior to boarding. Go to any FBO and watch the process of Frax Pax meeting their crews, and then watch a corporate crew greet theirs. You will notice a big difference unless the Frax crew has flown the same Pax many times prior.
