My two cents: If a person is gainfully employed as a flight instructor insurance is part of HIS cost of business. And should not be part of my cost of flying.

Bill,
If the same two people are involved, without compensation, AMA coverage is in force. What I do not understand is why the compensation makes any difference, relative ONLY to the insurance. The risk to the AMA would seem to be identical. The premiums have been paid. Where is the additional insurance risk? Where is the additional insurance cost? If the overall number of students remains the same in either case, what is the justification for negating the insurance?
Just for the record, I have taught a lot of folks to fly, but have never taken a penny.
