Need help persuading my boss!

[Counselair]

Don't think twice about it. My first commuter job was at BEX flying a 1900C model. Prior to that, the biggest equipment I have flown was Navajo/Chieftons. Its a great plane and probably one of the funnest I've been in. Its a **CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED**cat. Good luck with the insurance. Don't ever be worried about a plane or training, just be prepared.

Have Fun!

CVSFLY:
I believe there are four major players in the insurance game for aircraft. When your broker checks rates he effectively closes the door for others to quote a rate from those companies. This is where you have to be able to trust your broker because he knows that he can now charge what he thinks he can squeeze from you. I have just been through the process with the purchase of our new Excel. The agent we had "previously" had added a little nest egg of an additional 10 grand to the premium.
They thought I would not find out, but did. He no longer writes our policy. There is a form you can obtain to fill out with a reputable insurance broker which will allow him to open those closed doors. The killer right now is not necessarily the hull or liability insurance, but the "war" insurance that lenders are now requiring you to keep that can add 15 to 20 percent to your coverage right off the bat. Just another way for the insurance companies to hedge their bets.
If I can help you send me a PM. I will try to help if I can.
