My insurance company (Avemco) gives a "waiver of subrogation" to all named
pilots regardless of their ownership status. That means that Avemco will not
sue any named pilots if a claim is paid.

Were I a named pilot on anyone else's insurance I would get a "non-owner"
insurance policy. These are pretty cheap, as far as insurance goes.
