Bill has worked out a
surreptitious way of attaining this insurance to satisfy the aforementioned
governments.
If you are approaching it as just pretending to jump through hoops to satisfy some bureaucrats, then all you need is a piece of paper, not insurance. You can fabricate that piece of paper on your computer or on a photo copier using quite literally cut and paste from a letter of insurance for someone else. Why give away money to an insurance company to get the same piece of paper when it does not come with any insurance and is no more valid than the one you created yourself.
Unless Bill has a newfound concern about whether he is adequately insured
for this flight, the concerns Hamid voices are irrelevant.
It is not a matter of being adequately insured. It is a matter of following the rules and dealing with the consequences of not following them. The consequences of not following the rules in this case could be the confiscation of the airplane (a virtual certainty), potential financial ruin for him and his estate, even potential criminal liability (check with a lawyer on that one) and going out of business for the company that facilitated this deal if it can be implied (not proven) that they were a party to the scheme.
On the other
hand, if the Scottish ferry company gets wind of this thread and spooks, or
if the government bureaucrats smell a rat due to this traffic and throw the
wrench in the gears, then that might squash the deal.
Lets say the Scottish ferry company never finds out and there is an incident and then the government and the insurance companies find out, then not only is Bill's rear end on the line, but the ferry company is likely history as well. Should they be concerned?
I am not calling Bill a criminal, and apologize in advance for the inferences that can be drawn from this analogy, even though they are not intended. Here's a fact you should ponder: Many a criminal that has committed the perfect crime is caught when he/she brags about committing the perfect crime and word gets back to the authorities. If one of us has found a way to circumvent the rules, the only way to get away with it is to not tell anyone and certainly not to announce it on a public forum that is read by hundreds of people in the field and archived on the internet to be searched by millions.
