Amadeus Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 Teenager wings it with a fake airline A TEENAGE boy from Yorkshire succeeded in persuading British aviation executives that he was a tycoon about to launch his own airline. Using the pseudonym Adam Tait, the smooth-talking 17-year-old told airport and airline executives that he had a fleet of jets. Tait, who said he was in his twenties, even flew to Jersey to attend a 1½-hour long meeting with the director of its airport. Their talks were considered promising enough for a further meeting to be arranged, which was due to be held next week. Other air industry bosses found themselves dealing by telephone or e-mail with Tait’s fellow executives, David Rich and Anita Dash, who proposed to launch a cut-price Channel Islands-based airline servicing most of Europe. What no one realised was that Tait, Rich and Dash were all the same person: an aircraft buff with the gift of the gab and an overactive imagination. He even got the pilots all excited and talking: http://www.pprune.org/airlines-airports-ro...uernsey-13.html but got away with it - well, grounded for a while I guess No charges for teenager who posed as airline boss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
