REFLECTOR: Insurance advice needed

[John Dibble]

There's a problem with AUA.  We were using them for our club cessna.  
Apparently there are cases where they didn't forward the payments to the 
insurer.  I checked with our insurer and at first they said AUA was ok, 
but when I asked them to double check they said that AUA was removed 
from their list.  FWIW
