Changed mortgage last year and needed life ins so applied and was sent the relevant forms to fill out, no probs, ticket the box for professional Helli pilot. I was sent 8000 pages of questions to fill out like do i do filming, photography, medical runs etc, etc. Sent said forms off and low and behold 50% increase in the premium !!!!!!! Called the insurance company on the phone who said that because I was rotary and not plank I was a far greater risk and that was that. The offshore Helli ops have a far greater standard of training and professionalism that many small plank airlines so why the 50% hike. ??? ARSE
