I get many enquiries from people looking to get into ferrying. It is not easy, it involves getting stuck in places you don't like for long periods and obscure reasons, it is dangerous and there are certain types out there (even well respected in the industry) whom I have seen with setups that left me gobsmacked.
Wait until you have an burning smell three hours into a 12 hour overwater flight with 600L of avgas in the seat behind you and then see how much fun it is.
I'm surprised the pilot of this incident didn't know better.
