Now if ever asked my resume I will tell said Captain "I was a new commercial pilot unwilling to get a CFI, unwilling to get a regional job and suffering from a porn addiction when I got an idea. I created my own job called Buck In The Air where I flew happy couples to 6,000 feet in a Cessna 337 equipped with a bed. By lying about my resume I was able to go straight from that to Delta. Why do you ask?"
This actually existed for a short while. Buck being a play on the guy's last name Buckingham. It also happens to rhyme with, er, well you get the idea. I stayed in his crashpad for a few years in SDF. Helluva nice guy and obviously an enterprising individual.
I think it was an Aztec though. He had mousepads, koozies (sp?), t-shirts and other gear for sale, all with "Buck in the Air" printed on them. I think he only had one or two couples actually purchase the "mile high" package, but it was definitely one of the more creative ways I've heard of to build multi time.
Sidenote: we nearly ran into legal trouble in LAS partly because of Buck on a bachelor party, but that's a story for another time. . . .
