Will he be putting himself and his family and children on those aircraft in order to demonstrate his confidence in the safety of their flights?

I believe Hartman WAS on the test flight; and in order to get to FL410, he needed to make 2 passes through the ash, one on climb, one on descent... As could be done by other aircraft, if proved safe.
