You pay a guy $8m and let him fly experimental planes?

News is out that the CEO of Micron has died. He was paid $8.6m last year and he died flying solo in a single-engine, experimental plane.

Shouldn’t a company have rules against that?

    Larry Elison of Oracle is even worse, though he hasn’t died … yet.

    They probably have some policy against this kind of life threading sports, but I believe after this incident this CEO would say: “Ok, sue me”…

    It does sound ridiculous but that’s merely an FAA classification for a non-commercially available type aircraft. I’m pretty sure it wasn’t a ‘Birdman of Bognor’ inspired experiment!
