The context of my recollection was reading a statement about the dollar amount that the employee flying his own aircraft could claim; it was limited to what would be paid for an automobile (POV - Privately Owned Vehicle) taking the same trip (that, in turn, is limited to the commercial airline fare the gov't would pay for the same trip, if POV travel turned out to be more expensive than that). Also as far as I recall, the JTR's apply to all gov't travel (except maybe State Department), not just DoD, so you should be able to find more details from the personnel office of any largish federal gov't installation or complex nearby. Insurance doesn't enter into it -- the gov't is a "self-insurer" (they can always raise taxes, right? :-). Will
