Aviation Risk Management & Insurance Solutions LLC

With all due respect, aviation insurers had the opportunity to control the down slide of rates rather than participate in the race to the bottom. Now that we are there, insurers are suggesting to the airlines that they charge the general public a surcharge so they can pay their insurance premiums? Aren't the airlines getting enormous grants to "survive"? Isn't it time that we all become responsible for running our own business?

Let's try this: Underwriters charge rates that are responsible and actually profitable based upon the exposures not what "the other guy is paying", brokers charge fair compensation for their services, the airlines price their product responsibly and the general public pays fares that make sense.

Aviation Insurance Industry Faces Wrenching Changes The coronavirus pandemic is exacerbating what had been a challenging marketplace for the aviation insurance industry.

It's hard to believe it's been 20 years since we senselessly lost Payne Stewart in a plane crash. Fortunately great strides have been made since then to make the operation and selection of aircraft charter operators more transparent and safer.

'Miss you every day' Dear Dad,

Come on..seriously?

Shame on Mr. and Mrs. Thibodeau for everything about this situation which was at the expense of the general public.

Frivolous lawsuits cost the general public millions of dollars each year. Is there any wonder why insurance premiums continue to climb and airfares are increasing? Someone has to pay for these senseless complaints undoubtedly related to an inherent need for attention and greed.

I guess I'm not surprised that the Thibodeau's will continue to fly with Air Canada but I'm amazed that Air Canada would actually allow them too.

I for one would not want to be exit row seatmates with someone who would hesitate to open the window or unbuckle their seat belt because the French translation of "LIFT" and "EXIT" were too small for their liking.

One more thing, shame on CNN for trying to reach the Thibodeaus for comment. First off, who cares and secondly, the facts as represented in this case point towards the sensationalism and greed that supports the momentum for a litigious society. This case is no less ridiculous that the McDonald's hot coffee case or todays latest, a man suing Popeye's Chicken because he couldn't locate a chicken sandwich.

Air Canada has to pay $15,000 to a couple because the word 'lift' was not engraved on seatbelts in French Despite a growing litany of complaints about air travel, passengers continue to pay for the convenience of flying.
