He clearly is fit and capable of passing his exams, tests and competency.
Is it because he is wealthy and doesn’t need to do this for a living? Jealousy that he is able to enjoy flying as a hobby perhaps where the majority in here have to do it to pay the bills ?
He has a large social media following and is “teaching” or should I say informing those that have no aviation background a lot of the basics. Fair enough, he’s not qualified to be flying a SAR machine in the middle of the North Sea in a cold wet windy winter but so what, he’s not pretending to be.
Personally I just don’t get the hatred for the guy in here, quite sad to be honest. He’s not harming anyone and as far as I can tell, flying safely and educating those that have zero experience with helicopters or flying (which is a positive in my books as it may get the younger generation in his following to take it up as a career)
Perhaps I’m missing something though?
It's not hatred. We don't hate the guy.
What we
dislike about him is that he talks rubbish about the industry that we care deeply about.
As for not harming anyone - Several of the things that he has espoused are downright dangerous and could harm people if they emulated him.
