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.


That discount isn't because IEEE membership means you are a safer driver.
