Isn’t that what all of us have tried to do? Make ourselves look good on paper so that we can get a call for that coveted interview?
North Dakota is far from an exceptional school. Pilots act like its Harvard or Stanford. Most aviation schools are second rate universities, at best.
He road around in the right seat of a caravan and logged it. Something that is so laughable, it shouldn't even be legal flight time.
90% certain he's never
worked as a CFI.
I don't dislike him. But he doesn't embody hard-work/"earned it" role model status at all.
