F'ing insurance industry

My employer chose perhaps the most expensive and most useless insurance
policy they could, and today I called up Allegis Benefits and chewed them
up. Check this out:

"What is not covered under all plans:
- Suicide or attempted suicide while sane or insane
- Acts of war (declared or undeclared)
- Your commission of a felony
- Your operating, riding in, or descending from any ay aircraft other than
while a fare-paying passenger on a licensed, commercial, non-military
aircraft..."

So flying a plane puts me in company with suicides and criminals. She
thought that was funny. Just to clarify, I asked her: If I walk into a prop
or go streaking across the runway and get clobbered by a landing jet, I am
not "operating, riding in or descending" and so I am covered. "Strictly
speaking, yes," she replied.

I finished the call by telling her that insurance industry employees will
never be welcome in my cockpit. That should be a standing code among GA
pilots: If an insurance employee wants to fly, he or she can take a jet or
leap from a building. There's no room in general aviation for people who
liken pilots to felons and the insane.
