Nope. Are you suggesting that such insurance is mandatory? Do we
need to pull Mike R. into the discussion?

I think it's silly to pretend that all pilots are going to be
motivated by the desire to "get hours."

I think it is sillier to assume that your personal experience is more
applicable than that of the 'other' 95% of the new pilot population.

Fortunately I didn't do that. I only suggested examining long-term
goals and motivations. The sweeping pronouncments were yours.

There is *no* chance today that a new private pilot could get insured
in an Aztec

I was told it's cyclical. Look for it to come around again.

The original poster asked a simple question. I responded in a way that
took into account the actions of the vast majority of new pilots and
answered accordingly.

I realize that there are a lot of people who post to rec.aviation.*
who are perfectly happy saying that something is always true despite
counterexamples. I'm not one of them.

Your "disagreement" with my experience doesn't strike me as useful.
