Overcoming the train strikes - buy a helicopter
Ongoing train-strikes here in Germany have driven us to find alternative transportation for our regular trips to Munich and Hamburg. Luckily the company is thriving and after being in business a year we can easily afford our own helicopter. It was delivered this morning and the initial lunch-break flight testing shows promise. The helicopter a bit small though..and flight time is somewhat limited...well, you can't have everything.

Will your next company vehicle be an A380 to move your 500 employees?

We've adopted the same solution: http://hamstaa.hbhau.net/2007/09/10/team-play-time/
Unfortunately we've had a lot of mechanical failures resulting in open-copter surgery. One is permanently out of action and the other is pretty flakey. Reinforcements may be on the way soon though:
