canyonblue was the guy that started the whole contriversy over Brad being a real pilot. canyonblue said that Brad was a fake but all
of us
defended Brad, because we all believed him.
My god I've been away for quite some time now...

It also was odd the only aircraft he ever had any information about was the 737-700, when in real life, didn't he fly 737 classics (does the
PMDG 737 come with good manuals?? I suspect that's where he got his detailed info.)??? Or was he type rated on all of em??? I forget
now.. I just was re-reading his posts back to last october and got sick of it.
It is so good when liars are exposed.
It's so sad though.. Like the childhood friend from the broken home who always talked about all the cool stuff like motorbikes and go-
carts he had at his "other" house.. Or the idiot that told my brother the other day that he once bowled a "perfect" 360 game.
How many other REAL working ATP's do you have access to on a 3rd party Flight Simulator add-on forum? I can't hink of one. I think
they're mostly busy flying. I also can't think of anyone who comes home from work and wants to simulate what they just got done doing
for real.
O&A PARTY ROCK!

Well guys, I am sorry that this individual was in your graces. I also never meant to take this public to the forum, but "Brad" would never
answer my PM's to him about his status as a RW pilot. My beginning with this was when I purchased the Feelthere 737 and had
problems with it (like so many others). I came across this member “SWAFO” and decided to read his post. His attitude and behavior, as
a so called Southwest Airlines pilot, is what led me to question his status as a RW pilot, and his mention of being a moderator at
FSPassengers is what led me here. I did not mean to bring this to any of this to any of you, but after 2 days of no replies inquiring on his
RW status, it led me to bring it into the open. Just to let you know there are many RW pilots out there who could answer many of your
questions, as one individual has offered here. A RW Forum would be good for FSPassengers, and I hope Dan reconsiders the offer that
was put forward here. And on a last note I would just like to say that the entire staff at FSPassengers were very professional throughout
my "verification" of "Brad". I salute them for an excellent product, and a topnotch operation.

Already done 48 hours ago...feelthere also etc etc...
no reply yet... seem they don't care too much.
after all it's not a revolution... another fake guy on internet...
Dan
Anonymous PM'd me this morning right after this thread came out... I asked him to forward my response to canyonblue (also known as SWAPilot on the
Virtual SWA forums) and my former hub manager... I might email my former HM tomorrow if I don't see anything on the issue.
EDIT: canyonblue posted millseconds before I finished this message. I hate it when that happens!!!

Glad to see you here, did you had my mail ?
About the "real world" forum I'll reopen it no problem, just need sometime
I don't have finger anymore because of typing so much on keyboard.

I am very sorry for not believing you, canyonblue. "Brad" is the one who needs to go to hell. Did the SoCal hub manager contact you? Whilst being
sorry, I'd like to invite you to be our resident RW expert (if Dan approves), possibly in the RW forum.

Brad or whatever his real name is has the maturity of a 8 year old. wait even an 8 year old wouldn't pretend to be a pilot over the internet. I
can't believe that I was so stupid to believe him for one second.

That much! WOW!
Like I said earlier, canyonblue, I am extremely sorry for ever doubting you and ask that you become our RW expert.

"Brad" Also wrote in his E-mail to me:
Basically, I don't get
any thrills out of pretending to be an airline pilot, and making all you guys
look like dumbasses (which I did very well). I did get a copy of FSP for free
though! Saves me $40, and all I gotta do is spread my knowledge around!

That's really sad. I remember reading SaVas's post about cracked versions of FSP, and this is what "Brad" said to it:
"Very nice post! I didn't notice it because it was a sticky... lol. Sorry for not replying earlier. I agree with everything you said, especially
the
fact that using a crack is STEALING software. Would you steal a video game from a store? Most people wouldn't. It's the same damn
thing! If you're thinking about stealing any program, think twice about who you're hurting.... the developers. These developers work
countless hours to make a decent program. Look at paying for FSP as a way of saying "thank you". Just wanted to add my 2 cents."
If you go through all the trouble of pretending to be a real world pilot just to save forty dollars, that is sick.
