She <br />told the board the most comprehensive conversation was with the Texarkana <br />airport manager, Steve Leubbert, so she would like specifically to report that. <br />She stated that Mr. Leubbert said “out of the truck” mechanics can get <br />insurance if they are licensed through the FAA and in good standing. They <br />are considered contract maintenance. Texarkana has one person who works <br />through the fence at their airport who has insurance, and Mr. Leubbert <br />advised that American Airlines just hired him to work on a plane that hit a <br />coyote. If he did not have his insurance, he would not have been hired. Mr. <br />Leubbert said mechanics can make it work to their benefit. <br />Mr. Leubbert also added that he felt, for the privilege of practicing on the <br />airfield, mechanics should pay a fee and have the necessary liability <br />coverage; because, but not for the airport, they would have nowhere to <br />practice their craft. Mr. Leubbert recommended at least one million dollars. <br />He added that he recommended that Paris level the playing field for the guy <br />who’s required to be here, because he has overhead that the tailgater doesn’t. <br /> <br />
