Probably explains why only 50% of the crowd here has the balls to get on a flight with the above mentioned parameters.
I certainly wouldn't. (Ex PC12 pilot)
First off 2 people in front of a PC12, one is a low time kid who’s more a pax/student which IMO makes it less safe.
Also Lansing is a pretty big town, take it you live in an urban center?
Again, being scared of a PC12 flight is ether a irrational phobia or some half baked attempt to flex
*Has a ton of time in PC12s too

What about one of his family members?
if someone wants to be brave and a team player by hoping on one of these planes and trusting the pilots then that is their choice. It simply means that you and Nealman agree on what your ASset is worth.
Dude lol.. do you think 1M worth is a lot?? Oh baby…
1M combined worth is middle class, a part 135/121 aircraft has to have insurance, and it covers middle class workers like you in the event of a crash.
I mean I hop in the back of regional airliners knowing how inexperienced and rote many of their ex ****ty 172 CFIs are, and I hop in the back of majors knowing they are mostly flown by the same people who used to fly the regional.
The average airline type guy I run in the FAA airmen’s registry comes back bare bones, ATP MEL, CPL SEL, expired CFI and that’s about that, that tells me they are more about the check compared to the flying and that’s A LOT of pilots.
The amount who care to go above and beyond and continue to grow as an aviator past their duty off is a SMALL number across the board.
Most airlines HR bots don’t even care about this and give more value to a 4yr degree in underwater basket weaving, or the bare minimum volunteer time serving crackheads soup.
