There's a bit of a false equivalency between JFK Junior's private jet (RFK was assassinated by Sirhan Sirhan) and Ted Stevens' death aboard an Alaska bush plane. Small propeller planes are not an uncommon way to travel in Alaska since much of the state is still wilderness.

On a less important note:

"you literally take your car onto the tarmac and walk onto a jet, it's marvelous"

Wait, do you just leave your car parked at the tarmac for the whole trip?

I'd imagine most people able to afford a private jet (or to let a friend borrow it or whatever) can similarly afford some sort of valet service. That, or maybe there's some sort of parking space right by (or even inside?) the hangar for the private jet where you could leave the car. I'm a bit curious now too as to standard protocol on it.

Company provided a car to pick up and drop us off, I'm not sure what the parking situation would be otherwise.
