Why are those companies getting commercial pilots to ride along anyway. They're not getting paid, and they obviously don't require someone with any training (otherwise the job would have value and a paycheque) so why not just get some 45 hr private pilot to sit there and throw the baggage. . .. .Actually, why not get someone with 10 hrs MS flight sim in type to pay to sit there? The ultimate video game!! You guys are embarrassing.. .. .The absolutely saddest, most pathetic aspect of the people and companies that run these schemes is that they are the ones that go out of business due to lack of funds. Hey, why not get the captains to pay to fly as well <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="mad.gif" />
