The evidence would be if an auto insurance company offered discounts to
pilots. Their actuaries don't miss much.


Might could be a small enough group for them to safely ignore.


Progressive gives me a couple hundred bucks a year discount for
belonging to IEEE, which has 375,000 members worldwide. There were
624,007 certificated pilots in the U.S. in January 2008 according to the
FAA.
