25hrs dual multi????? that just smacks of people being used to fund hours builders and is disgusting
It IS an insurance requirement, I had a chat to the boss about it. There is nothing they can do about it, its not worth their while droping the requirments ($20,000 premium as opposed to $5000). In fact in the USA, this figure is one of the better ones around. Try renting a ME down the road, and they require 100 ME time, 500TT, and a checkout before they let you free on your own. In fact you'll be very hard pressed to find anywhere in the USA who'll have vastly lower requirments for ME rental.
would be a very narrow minded person who punished them
or a litigation lawyer
The trouble is these days, everyone wants their slice of the financial compensation cake in the event of an accident. Just like the families of the "Washington Sniper" victims sued (and was settled out of court) the rifle manufacturer. Thats like me suing Draper because I hit my thumb with a hammer made by them. How mad is that? But its real life unfortunately.
