Assuming this is for real, 'charterpilot' probably also needs to start looking for work outside the aviation sector
Nope, doesn't look 'for real' to me. In fact Jamil, it looks remarkably similar to the scenario given for an assignment in the Griffith BAv Aviation Legal Studies unit in 2006, as follows:
AVN3002 AVIATION LEGAL STUDIES
AVIATION LEGAL ASSIGNMENT 2006
Students are required to write a 1500 word assignment on the following scenario, this assignment is due on the 19th May 2006 before 4pm.
An experienced charter pilot with 7 passengers at Archerfield is waiting to depart on Runway 10R for Casino. It is a busy morning with traffic arriving and departing from 2 active runways, 10R and 10L.
The control tower has advised that traffic must clear both runways as quickly as possible.
The charter pilot is cleared for an immediate take-off. As he turns onto the runway, out of the corner of his eye he observes a Cessna 172, which he knows is piloted by a student pilot on a first solo flight, on final approach. The control tower has instructed the Cessna to land on runway 10L but the charter pilot’s observations lead him to believe that the Cessna 172 may be intending to land on 10R. The charter pilot, believing he will have departed before the Cessna 172 lands and aware that there is traffic banked up behind him, proceeds to roll down the runway.
To his surprise he realises the Cessna 172 is about to land and he veers suddenly to the right in an attempt to avoid a collision. His left wing clips the Cessna 172’s right wing as it lands. Both aircraft are substantially damaged and 3 of the charter passengers suffer minor head wounds. The student pilot of the Cessna 172 suffers a fractured wrist and his Omega watch is smashed. In addition his Dell Laptop computer is damaged and suffers a hard drive failure and a cracked LCD screen. A prototype UFO aerodynamics program worth $500,000 that the student pilot has been working on is lost.
You are the student pilot in the Cessna 172.
