Thanks for all of the advice and input. I was 95% sure that the "or other operations" line in 61.55 did not apply to insurance reqs. but I figured it never hurts to ask. By the way Rickair, dont worry, I have not been scammed. I get paid for my time. Unlike some I wont pay for flight time and slave myself out just to get a few extra hours, all that does is help lower wages for everyone because management knows there is always someone willing to fly for next to nothing.
