Dude, this guy needs truckmaster! He is behind the curve in many areas. Let him drive a truck for a year or whatever it takes to improve his skillset before tackling aviation. If he jumps into this now he will be so far behind he won't even get hurt in the wreck. He might indeed turn out to be a great pilot but let him get prepared and off on the right foot first. If he does succeed he will have a great story to tell and use to help others. You might think you are helping him now but if he takes the bait he could easily come to loath you. I've been in this business a long time...
