New underwear for crew: $20.

Is it any wonder why so few remain.

Oh yes, an AP/IA's dream come true...this is why its good to have insurance. Always, even if you rent aircraft, tweak that gear cause you forgot to correct that side-slip; PAY ME! Dinged that prop cause you "wheel barrowed" a trike gear AC; PAY ME! Have to land off field cause the "new" mechanic botched the fuel system check; PAY ME!
