I know that some airlines are holding courses for those afraid of flying. It's often pilots that hold those courses so it's an excellent opportunity to make some connections if you as a pilot participate in a course like that. It also looks good on your CV.
If you are serious (it's 1st of May after all) I'm sorry to be sarcastic but I really wouldn't feel comfortable as a passenger with your friend as the pilot. If the pilot is stressed and feel uncomfortable when the sun is shining what about a real emergency?
