Pretty funny... sounds like some av execs were bamboozled by an autistic kid...

Pretty impressive for a 17 year old kid.

Wrong. Those execs are laughing at this kid. He has a lot to learn about the aviation industry. He should have easily walked away with at least $5 million, a golden parachute, and thousands on furlough.

No kidding! This guy probably has more talent and know how about how to run an airline properly in his little pinkie, than the whole lot of the real swindlers do in their whole collective bodies.

All he needed to do was set up a "fee for pilot application" website and he'd have made a fortune.

Maybe he could give Doug some pointers....

Jet America is already tits up. Same guy that started Skybus. How much did he walk away with. I wonder if he's autistic? How about the guy who ran ACA/independance into the ground. Anyone remember Seigle at USAir? He was there for what a year or two. Took USAir into their second bankrupcy and walked away with at least $5 million. The list goes on and on.

You are an A$$ -- have an autistic nephew and if you called him retarded to my face I'd beat the livin CHIT out of you!!!!

 

[BSkin]

Better yet, I'll have my 16 year old "retarded" autistic nephew do it, and he's more than capable.

BTW, Autism doesn't equate to "retarded." Retardation is much different than Autism. In fact, many successful people can be found along the Autistic spectrum; in particular those who have Asperger's Syndrome.

Many well regarded indivduals through history have been known to have it, including Bill Gates.

Althouh they tend to have social quirks, those with Asperger's can achieve a lot in life.

I'd even say theres a fair amount of pilots who have signs of Aspergers. It comprises traits that jibes with the profession to a good degree.
