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.


Darn, I shouldn't have dropped my membership to IEEE years ago. I wonder
what other discounts there are? I can get a discount for being old
though AARP.


You have to wade through all the fine print from your insurance company.

I did and found there are discounts for things as obscure as having
an engineering degree, among a bunch of others.
