Explosion in insurance expense?
When no harm was done, so no claim made?
Insurers don't risk losing major clients that easily.
I dunno - insurance contracts come up for renewal every once in a while, and as far as I can tell, every possible happenstance is adduced on the one side as a reason for increasing the premium, and every safety measure (and record) on the other side as a reason for reducing it. Reality does not necessarily have a lot to do with the outcome.
The outcome has a fair amount to do with the specific negotiators involved and their skills. But when one side says "we're safe as houses", and the other "you can't even get your chief pilot to stick to your procedures", I think it's fairly clear in what direction the money-weathercock is tending.
Concerning the priceless fly-by pic, I did notice your colleague's aim was poor. Do tell - did you chicken out at the last minute?
