In continued efforts to further educate our program participants and help perpetuate Good Experience Returns, USAIG conducted a study of the claims submitted. The study reviews ten years of workers' compensation related accident data and is important to NATA and program participants in helping to combat frequently occurring incidents and accidents. In early 2011, NATA and USAIG will develop and launch additional training opportunities based on the information found in this study.

Program History

The NATA/USAIG Workers’ Compensation Program was cre­ated in 1975 for the National Air Transportation Association (NATA) with three specific goals in mind:

• Provide NATA members with a dependable long-term market for workers’ compensation insurance;

• Structure the plan in such a way that if the overall loss experience of the participating members is favorable, participants would share in the return of a portion of the premium at the end of the policy year (Good Experience Return); and

• Make joining the program as easy as possible.

Today, after 36 years of continuous operation, the plan has attained or exceeded every goal established by its founders.

Highlights of the plan:

• Since its inception, the plan has annually distributed a Good Experience Return to participating members. Through 2009, plan participants have received over $75 million in Good Experience Returns.

• The number of participants has continued to grow – from 76 original members in 1975 to more than 800 in 2010.

• USAIG — America’s first name in aviation insurance — managed by USAU (a division of Berkshire Hathaway), has provided the coverage since the plan’s inception.

With all this, we feel the NATA/USAIG Workers’ Compensa­tion Program is not only the finest workers’ compensation insurance plan on the market, but one of NATA’s most valuable member benefits.
