GIV drivers, if they work for a publicly traded co., have some incentive to optimize costs. I know this from the local DJIA co. operations.

On the other hand, if a private company, often they have a freer hand to play with their toys - GIVs or bigger, mega-yachts, etc. I have a guess which category ssg etc. flies.

My 10R once went on busman's holiday in NZ - he said there's a substantial cottage industry in the City of Sails, doing home theatre installations in visiting mega-yachts!
