Whelp When a Downturn Occurs in Aviation....

In all fairness when you come for a 747 I doubt you just hop in and fly off. You'd at least need the logbooks and tech records, you need to fuel the damn thing, how do you know if it's airworthy or safe to fly?

My point is is that when you come for a 737 the airline knows you're there, they have too, there is just no way around it. So maybe the story is sensationalized, but I still think it's interesting and I believe that there are companies that the job.

On a side note just because he's looking for a reality show (he may or may not be) doesn't mean he's not legit....we're currently shooting a reality show at my workplace, and I assure you I work for a legit company that pays me very handsomely thankyouverymuch.

It's a bit corny, and slightly exaggerated in the narrative but it is a fairly accurate representation of the day-today operations
