The firm I work for actually class pilots in the lower end of occupations when it comes to car insurance.
A rough delve into possible occupations I did recently found that top of the list by far were[list=1][*]Professional Footballers- Double that of an Airline Pilot![*]Pro Sportsmen/women[*]Builders[*]Insurance Consultants (how rude!
)[*]Housewife/husbands[*]Aircraft Engineers[*]Flying Instructors[*]Airline pilots[/list=a]
If anyone is wondering why pro footballers pay sky-high premiums it's because they are a higher risk for medical expenses, i.e; Giggsy has Becks in the back, has a huge smash, Giggsy & Becks can no longer play footy - wollop, huge payout alert!
I was actually hard pushed to find any occupations that pay less than that of a pilot! This may only apply to the firm I work for but in my experience, underwriting criteria tends to be pretty even throughout the field of companies.
Happy hunting!
