I too know this person having been his roommate for 6 months. I can honestly say he was an irritating prat and no one should feel sorry for him. His skill as a pilot was mediocre at best (although he would rattle on endlessly how good he was) and he was arrogant both in and out of the flight deck. I was duped by him financially so shame on me, but what he has done is inexcusable and I wish him nothing but the worst.
