He offered me a job. I passed. He demanded on site on call anytime day or night and a pay package that was not even close to affording the cost of living there especially with my skill set and experience. But there were “stock options”.... Sorry. I have done enough aircraft to know there will be no profit in these projects. And the pay would get me a cardboard box in the back ally and still barely have enough leftover to eat. The concept doesn’t work either. There is no way FAA will open airspace in big city like San Fran, especially when there are several major international airports. I do wish him well and much success.
Pretty good sense on your part. This is “pie in the sky” if ever there was . . . .
