Very, very few college kids and other
young pilots can afford insurance of any sort. Is it your position
that they should be prohibited from flying unless they carry
insurance?

I don't know about the person to whom you directed this post, but that
would be my position, yes.

I pay $600 a year for insurance. That is my obligation to society. If
I break somebody, I should pay for it, even if I'm not around to write
the check.

If you can afford to fly, you can afford to insure. If you can't
afford to insure, you shouldn't fly.

On the road, sensible people are protected from idiots who drive
without insurance (at least in my state, where the policy carries an
"uninsured dirver" clause). Unfortunately there is no protection
against idiots who fly without insurance.
