Default GA bias in "general" insurance?

Commercial pilots are safer per hour, but they fly more hours.


Do you mean Commercial GA Pilots fly more hours than Airline Pilots?

An advantage of simulators is that they have virtually no risks
associated with them.


Obesity? Obesity holds a much higher risk than flying, even according to the
insurance underwriters.

I used to work in the industry, so I didn't need to look for expert
conversations.


Were you an Underwriter or an Actuary?

I used to work in the industry, too. That's how I know the experts that I
asked. If you used to work in the industry, certainly there is someone you
could ask who might be able to provide you a legitimate answer based on
factual information, instead of forming opinions based on your own limited
experience.

Any commercial pilot flies more hours than the vast majority of
private pilots; after all, it's her job.

Yes, but flight simulators don't make you obese.

In fact, and just incidentally, I find that I eat less when flying a
simulator than when doing other activities at home. The time flies
by.
