My husband (also a pilot) had his car insurance up for renewal and got a quote off the internet from a major insurance company. Part of the renewal quote required employment details for both of us, when asked for his job description he wrote pilot, the computer responded with "commercial pilot?", to which he clicked on "yes" and continued to my details. So when asked for my job description he again wrote pilot, again the computer asked "commercial pilot?" to which he clicked yes (don't you know whats coming?) and the computer responded....
