Sailingfun,
Can you provide a bit more information? I understand it is the customer's airplane. But Delta's insurance cover makes no discrimination for charter operations and includes "war risks" coverage. Further, a pilot on duty only source of recovery against Delta under the law would be workman's compensation, right?
Not sure I get the "insurance" angle.
Thanks.
