Or, on the other hand, he might be a kid typing on a computer in his mommy's basement who has never been within 100 yards of an airplane. This is the internet, where anyone can be anyone. When someone shows up on a forum and his first post is basically an advertisement for a certain college program,...

He's a good writer, though. His spelling and grammar is impeccable. Which is why I don't believe he's a line pilot. This guy doesn't write like a line pilot, he writes like a SALESMAN. Line pilots just ain't that good.

I would submit that this is an incredible bargain. Of course you would, you're the one selling it. Some people go out of their way to be polite when they disagree with a poster. Others just call a shill a shill. You are a very good writer. I suspect you've had some professional sales training. You ...

You are here to provide free advice, and you have ten posts. Admirable altruism.

Spoken like a true shill. Your posts read like commercials for Seneca.

Not a non story, an OLD story. This Shi fellow started a lengthy thread on another well known aviation forum years ago.

Stewardesses under 30 are reported to charge between $450 and $700 for a 90-minute session.

I call BS, no pilot can afford those rates.

Comments in one of the video threads indicate the pilot was outside the aircraft when the truck struck the rotor, he tried to get back in to shut it down, and he was injured by the tail boom when it started to spin. Don't know how true it is.
