Don't get me wrong. I am not saying I think these are things they "should" be doing. I signed up for the way it is and "expect" nothing more than that. All I am saying is the more a carrier can logistically do to aid in a higher rate of success and retention the better it is for the carrier. I don't see how a maintenance escrow of some sort or a group health plan that is fully funded by the beneficiaries could be detrimental beyond the administration costs of same. I believe the carrier would benefit in the long term to such plans even with the added admin costs. As to the Ground facilities I refered to I understand we are all seperate companies. However, if we could utilize the facilities for nothing more than a safe place to park, shower and eat it would be a big benefit.

I agree with your original post. It is not the carriers responsibility to "ensure" my success. It definitely should be stressed to newcomers that under capitalization is probobly the number one reason for failure.
