Not to mention crawling into an airplane flown by somebody you don't know and you have no guarantee of their skills.
Or the quality and quantity of the maintenance.
Yes I use Uber and will get into a car with a stranger but I won't get into a light airplane with a stranger and unknown maintenance.
General public seems to think that since you hold a license you must be an experienced pilot.
Or confuse age or swagger with experience.
Just the thought of getting into an airplane with somebody I haven't vetted makes my skin crawl.
Yes I'm a career pilot.
But I've also been an instructor for 13 years and I've seen harrowing things done by people that have been 'flying for years'
