AOPA Was Supposed To Be A Pilot Advocacy Association? Since breaking the news about the 30% increase in AOPA’s group life insurance for pilots I’ve helped several pilots get their life insurance back on solid ground. With 8 companies that are very...

Do pilots pay more for life insurance? This is one of those life insurance questions that has been on something of a roller coast ride for the last 20 years. There was a long period when most life insurance companies were decidedly unfriendly to private pilots, but a...

I would never encourage a client to fudge on a life insurance application question, or even kind of skirt around an issue for the sake of getting approved. It’s an open invitation to having a death benefit successfully contested. Honesty is simply and completely...

I, we, Hinerman Group, just completed our reunification move to Colorado. Every once in a while I make bad decisions (moving to NM where it rains), but I am more known for my brilliance (coming back to CO where it snows). With that move I am promising more of the same...

With nearly a quarter of my clients being commercial and private pilots I thought I had worked my way through all of the obvious mistakes in pilot life insurance underwriting, but I missed one this week. In the end no harm, no foul as I can move it to another company...
