Well, I paid the ****ing deductible without whining. Does that count?

Well, it's certainly a good start!

But what if you took the arm off the gas jockey by taxiing into him?
Do you have a way of reimbursing him for his diminished capabilities
for the rest of his life, perhaps 70 years?

We carry insurance for events that are devastating, either to us or to
someone else. Paying the FBO's deductible isn't an insurance matter;
it's a financing matter. You could borrow the money from your brother,
if need be. But if buying a whole new Cessna would really crimp your
lifestyle, then you should be insured for that. And if buying the gas
jockey a new way of life is beyond your credit card limit, you damned
well should be insured for that.
