Ground ops is quite common these days in GA, I’ve seen CPLs strung along for considerable time, sometimes a year doing ground work, before getting the chance to captain the Cessna 206. Many do use would be pilots in these sort of jobs, ground ops can be a tough one to hire for, especially remote, I’ve seen many shuffled around these jobs purely to to keep the operation going.
We will likely never know why this young man decided to take this path.
