Ehh yours speaking about just auto, medical, and home owners. The company in question doesn’t have any crossover with “chRxis”.

IDK why I find this funny.

Because it screams FU money?
If I could do it I absofrickenlutely would.

I’ve been fortunate enough to experience a few private flights and if I had the means it’d be a priority for me. We had a cardiologist who would fly his staff from Chennault to Jennings weekly for a good while. It’s at most 35 minutes in a car on the interstate. Should I be mad that Medicare and Medicaid were paying for that?

again, i'm making a general statement about ALL insurance companies... we see it on a daily basis, in the medical field... and i have enough friends and family that have directly been affected by storms, like my parents in Raceland during Ida, to know that, yes, insurance companies will look to frick over the insured to secure their profits, as they are beholden to their shareholders, not to their customers

so while this one singular company doesn't have direct crossover, again, i'm not speaking ONLY about this one singular company... i'm speaking in the broadest of terms... what's hard for y'all to understand about this? i know this isn't written in crayons for y'all, but i'd like to think y'all can understand it..

Guess what else is paid for by “us”? Someone opens a car door onto someone else’s car in a parking lot and personal injury lawyer sends their client to the chiropractor for 6 months and gets them $15K. That goes on all day everyday across every insurance company in the state. And, if the insurance company fights it guess who the judge is siding with, the big bad insurance company or his colleague lawyer friend?

Look at the flight logs. The jet is based out of Hammond. Typical flights are from HDC To NEW and then to some other location and then in reverse.

The jet is most likely leaving HDC to pick up passengers at Lakefront and then on to its final destination.

This doesn’t look like commuting by the CEO.

Agreed.....also Gray has an office in Mandeville which is where the CEO most likely works from (when not traveling).

I dont think you have the slightest clue how broad a spectrum there is for “all insurance companies”. Your employment in the medical field gives you zero knowledge as to how any of it outside of medical insurance may work. Again you reference a sour homeowner’s situation.

You’re ignorant as to what the actual company insures that is referenced by the plaintiff lawyer who wants to present himself as giving a shite for his fellow man when he likely contributes to the overall fraud

What a dumb story.

Are we requiring private businesses to be frugal?

Also, they probably own the plane and the pilot is on salary.

i'm thinking this doesn't have anything to do with gray ins co, seems more like the goauto ceo. fits the bill better of going after someone more in line of the auto industry of which is the hot topic of convo.

That is 54 dollars in fuel cost round trip.


Damn, TIL the cost of flying is limited to the cost of fuel. I guess the pilot and mechanics that keep the jet up are working for free.
