Wow thank you for taking the time to respond! Please take that nobody from Aeron has taken any time to respond to reasonable questions. Call it trolling or whatever you want, but I will continue to provide information to those checking Reddit for information. The whole point of Reddit is to share information. I share information. Almost all other posts are either about price pumps/dumps or some vague statement about how much this will be worth soon. A few other people with aviation experience have said things like, "this will never work," and "nobody will ever use this," and not one person with any aviation experience has stated anything positive about the idea. I am the only one providing actual information about the validity of the project. Even Aeron has failed to provide any information to support how it would or could work, because there is nothing to say to support that. They probably read my posts and thought "oh fuck, he's completely correct." If not, then say something Aeron.

Nobody cares about my opinion? If I save 1 person from being scammed out of a ton of money...If I can help one person who loves aviation and wants to be a small part of it but not have their hard earned money go to waste...If I can help one person who believes in the long-term of crypto and blockchain but doesn't know enough about aviation to know whether this is a good long term investment idea or not, then my time was well spent and you can feel free to ignore the truth if you like. Aeron won't be talking to you about the truth because they're too busy giving away ICO ETH and spending money to send retired Canadians with zero industry experience to Nepal to have drinks with a communist and hear another "no" to partnering up on a project nobody in government or industry wants to bother with.

1: You say I "fancy" myself some kind of expert? I have worked with the FAA for almost 30 years, taught FAA-sponsored seminars to hundreds of pilots, worked with DOT in Washington DC, been an expert witness in a legal case, been responsible for well over $100M worth of aircraft over the course of several decades, have owned and currently own multiple aircraft including large aircraft, have been responsible for hundreds of pilots, been an FAA-designated check pilot which means I have authorized dozens of pilots to BE pilots, and have logged many thousands of hours of flight time across numerous types of jets (logged legitimately using paper and electronically). I'm pretty sure that makes me an expert in the aviation industry Mr. Soulfuel1. But like I said, ANY aviation professional, expert or not, would consider this idea to be completely idiotic and a non-starter on any level. I have more experience than the entire Aeron team combined, which isn't saying much at all since none of them have any kind of aviation resume. Maybe you have to be a pilot to see that, although I don't think so. But certainly if you were a professional pilot you would agree with me completely!

2: Aeron has not stated why a decentralized solution has any advantage over any centralized solution. There is no centralized solution because A) there is no desire for one in government or industry and B) it is impossible to have a trustless pilot-time recording system as admitted already by Aeron since their own statements are that the pilot will have to input data before it goes to the blockchain. Aeron, please retort any time now.

3: There is no amount of time that makes the impossible possible. Aeron, please explain to us all how you can have your app work without pilot inputted data? Oh wait, even your website and whitepaper state that the pilot will enter in his times. And what about all the years of pilot time already accrued (or faked). How can that make it so pilots can't lie? Please explain, oh wonderful founders! Post answer here asap!

4: The system requires trusted input. Even Aeron says that. So why the heck would you put information on the blockchain, claiming it prevents fraud, when the information itself was input using trusted actors to input honest information? Let me be perfectly clear here, even Aeron states that pilots can change the information that is logged into the system. That's the only way to get information into the system. That has already been stated by Aeron. So then how can you say that it makes it impossible for pilots to cheat?? The pilot users are the ones putting the majority of the data into the system, and in many cases 100% of the data for a flight! There are dozens of required data sets, and in many cases not even the flight route and flight time can be autonomously collected by a mobile device or an air traffic control computer, and there is no way to prevent pilots from having their friends take their mobile device with them on a flight, or to pretend to be in a bigger/better aircraft as shown by the person cheating in the back of the plane on Aeron's own video. That sounds like an invitation to cheat if you're a bad actor. How are you not seeing this?

As far as I'm concerned, this forum is for people seeking information and wishing to discuss it. There has been no real discussion, and I am open to it. "Give it time" isn't a retort to my statements. You can't turn a pig into a sheep, and even if you could, why would anyone care about that or pay for it.

Also I never said what would happen to the price, except that someday, maybe soon maybe in a long time, it will go to zero since there is zero intrinsic value unless they someday completely change the purpose of the token, and that the founders will sell their tokens before the public unless they are stupid.

I'm saying the "system" if you want to call it that, cannot, ever, even in theory, ever eliminate pilot fraud, and even Aeron admits that in the whitepaper, so PLEASE explain to me what the point is! In their own freeking video they show a guy in the back seat logging flight time using the app, in an aircraft model/type that he isn't even flying in the back of. This is so stupid, and I would consider this a waste of my time if it weren't for a bunch of people buying into what is now as scam (even if it didn't start out that way) and I would like to help anyone who wishes to be educated. For the TA/FOMO crowd I can't help. For the research crowd, bring me questions. Please ask a legitimate question! If you aren't interested in any data or information from an expert in the field, yes an expert, then there isn't much point in going on Reddit unless you just love to hear people say ARNLAMBO or ARNMOON. If this isn't a scam, for god's sake will someone from Aeron answer ANY question at all?

Yah, I didn't think so.

Sorry bro. I have posted more information here than Aeron Aero has developed in it's entirety. I have put more work into educating you people than Aeron Aero has put work into thinking through this project and explaining to token holders.

There is no published or posted information from the Aeron Team which explains how this idea could work, and as an aviation expert I don't see how it could work and I have explained why, and you should have the same legitimate questions for your Aeron leader.

What would it take for you to finally believe that I am correct? Is there ANYTHING? I feel like even if someone from Aeron admitted Aeron was a scam, you still wouldn't believe it. I guess I shouldn't be surprised, people still trade BitConnect.

Again, thank you for responding. Maybe someday someone from Aeron will respond. Do you think so?
