Here's why. On Friday the 2nd I got a call from an editor in the worst kind of big newsroom who wanted to know if I knew you or your story. Years ago I quit working as a CFI on the East Coast for a new job in Europe as a web-traffic analyst. Although we have a professional relationship this editor also wanted my personal opinion about running a piece on you. I said I'd call him back about it. I still enjoy following stuff and first saw some content from you last year. Naturally, because I'm a dude and you're hot I wanted to know more. With Google and a little incidental knowledge your story and connections become interesting. I'm going to choose words carefully now, please take them literally. EFTA00685350 I think what you've accomplished is great. Not just you're but other things like visas and speaking English so well...it's all impressive. I'm sure there are other accomplishments Google doesn't list. But doing all of it in such uncertain circumstances so independently is something else, something awesome, and something to be really proud of. Unfortunately the Duke of York is on the Daily Mail's home page and if someone seizes this opportunity to exploit your life for page-view-add-revenue my perspective would probably not be the prevailing one. I just called an acquaintance at a newsroom which produces these sorts of things and after only offering your name was asked if I knew where you worked. Apparently the editor there was so impressed with the pitch he wanted to fly someone out for a flying lesson/interview. What should you do about this? I don't think these stories are imminent yet, maybe. The guys (probably guys) who will wright them are going to be smart enough to link all the details clearly. When they do they will empathize with you. But the money they would make shopping the article around to Buzzfeed or Huffpo or Daily Mail would be considerable. Here's what I wanted to say: Self-promotion is understandable but covering reality with false pretences for fame is a juicy irony, a great angle for a story and a reason to feel less remorse for publishing a pseudo- exposition of your life. So a lot of guys and maybe even some girls who sometimes get lucky and drive enormous web traffic are going to be drawing connections in the coming days. If you remove, at least for a time, the various backstories on your different profiles it will be significantly less enjoyable for them to use you. This sucks. I think taking advantage of the circumstances in the way you did is more impressive than what you're promoting now. Regardless I hope things just get better for you and you get what you want. I'm sure you will. Sincerely EFTA00685351
