Before I type anything I'd just like to point out that while some of us have been getting a good laugh out of this, It's pretty serious. Having an unstable person in the flight deck is very troublesome. Waving a gun around in public could have gotten someone killed. That being said...
I've been reading this thread and having a good laugh for the last thirty minutes... However, I must now add JET A to the fire...
While an instructor at ATP, the aforementioned GoJetter had a wing strike in the DA-40 at the Tampa location. What did he do afterwards you ask? Well, he ferried (no pun intended) it to JAX CRG and parked it on the ramp, swapping for another aircraft. Low and behold, the next person who went to fly the damaged aircraft noticed something strange. The underside of the left wing looked like someone had taken a belt sander to it. When questioned by ATP management, Mr. Reynolds response, "I don't know, must have happened in CRG"... He didn't work there much longer..
I'm still amazed that ATP didn't tell his next employer about the wing strike, and posts his biography with pride as if spending 60K to work at GoJet is a good thing???
Word is that the boys at Colgan taunted him so much that he quit.
Other lies, fabrications, and falsehoods included:
"I have my ATP" - False at the time
"My father is at Captain at the majors" - False (roofing company owner)
"I have a seaplane rating" - False
"I own a CE-172" - False
"I used to be a police officer" - False-ish (see below)
Officer Clayton Reynolds
However, after "conquering the aviation industry", he still seems to be doing pretty well. See below:
