Just waiting for the surge of responses!

What you are looking at here is a frustrated professional pilot and when people with money can't be bothered to do what is required to satisfy their urgings they blag their way round by dressing-up their actions with good intentions.

Anyone committed to professionalism (private or otherwise) will be the first to impose a thick layer of requirements for pilots and ground crew so as to ensure they know what the heck they are doing.

I'd suggest anything less than 1,500 hours minimum experience would be folly and, as stated, a thick slab of healthy training for ground and air crews.

Paxton would be better off donating some money to his local air ambulance and the wealthy flyers better suited to a day trip to seaside.

Sorry, its the eternal optimist in me coming out.
