As you may or may not know, I’ve been appointed as the president &
CEO of the Risk Retention Group for self-insuring free flight. We’ve been
scrambling to get all of the pieces put together, from financing to regulatory
approval, to setting up the corporation, to figuring out the terms of the
insurance policies and fees, etc. One of the goals I have for the RRG is to
establish it with a culture of transparency, much like what I tried when I was
president of USHGA. We on the RRG board have to remember that we’re dealing with
money that largely came from the pilots, either in the form of dues or
donations, and so we have an obligation to them both to be very careful and to
explain what we’re doing.

Right now, there is a great deal of confusion and misinformation out there about
the RRG, which is a natural consequence of changing so many things at once. So,
we think that it’s incumbent on us to provide correct information to clear
things up. This effort will take many avenues, but if you’re willing, we’d like
the Oz Report to be one of them.

I’m proposing that we write a series of articles/press releases that we’d ask
you to run... Once the articles ran, then we’d do a Q & A with you (through
email) so that you can address anything that we didn’t cover or weren’t clear
about.
