was put forward here.

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.

canyonblue, sorry I didn't believe you......

SWAFO keeps E-mailing me..... I won't post the E-mails because they're all swearing and saying things like "I can't believe that I got
you all believing me for so long! I EVEN GOT THE administrator to believe me!!"

[jetBlue220]

Neither did I...My apologizes.

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.

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.

He's a class act all the way isn't he?

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!

[jetBlue220]

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.

[Jetsgo]

And remember, 4000 posts..... FOUR THOUSAND POSTS! FOUR THOUSAND!

Brad is a fraud and a theif.

I wouldn't mind seeing some of theese emails lol; if you find the time forward them to me :P (racer_101[avoid

1) I still think than he can be charged or sued for something, can't he? If so...why not do it?
2) What knowledge? Half of his knowledge was wrong the other half he picked up from a pmdg manuel and
various flightsim
websites

UNDESTATEMENT

[CowlFlapsOpen]

stunned. Thank you Dan for the explanation. That helped. I guess I'm always stunned when someone pretends to be something else, but in this case,
what I find most incredible is his behavior during the SWA Chicago tragedy. He claimed to be friends with one the first officer as I recall and many
folks here expressed concern for his welfare. If I had to bet I would have bet on his veracity. I was impressed with his response to the TOGO
question weeks ago and he seemed to provide a picture from his cockpit. wow. a little more jaded than I used to be. maybe I shouldn't be in light
of the south korean/cloning scandal this week.
