Many moons ago ('71/72) I had to pay 50% loading as I was working offshore in the Gulf and consequently flying as SLF with Bristow's etc
Didn't like it but was persuaded that as there was a greater percieved risk then a loading was neccessary
A couple of years later, I came ashore and consequently approached my insurance company to remove the loading - their response was that I had to continue with the loading for a minimum of 12 months!!!
Cancelled policies immediately and told them to multiply - one side benefit of this was that I missed the 'endowment miss selling' that many of my colleagues were to suffer from
