In all fairness.... no sympathy for them. They knew from the start the risks, costs, and miserable T&Cs the regionals offer.

The panhandlers sometimes have an excuse. This clown has no shame or self-respect, and is furthermore totally oblivious to people out there who have truly unfortunate circumstances.
If somebody on a hiring board remembers his name, this could cost him more than $50K in the long run. One can only hope.

Now if he begged while employed at a regional or advertising how little he gets paid and naming the airline, it would be ballsy and grounds for termination.
Some people get $$$ from mommy and daddy, some get a few bucks begging on the web. Whatever.

They would care... why? I'm serious, I don't see the animosity. I think it is lame, but most people would just roll their eyes and chuckle, especially in 5 years when he applies to majors.

I nominate the 20-something in front of me at Trader Joe's who complained for several minutes to the checker AFTER he had finished ringing her up (and while I and others were waiting) that "the city should do SOMETHING" about the fact that there was NOT a Trader Joe's in HER neighborhood!
Its for the "general welfare" which we all know superceedes the entire constitution anyway.
All stores carry goods from other states, and even if they don't, the butterfly effect eventually could theoretically effect something in another state eventually anyway maybe, so its a massive interstate commerce clause issue.
Finally, the federal "supremacy clause" kicks in and dominates regardless.
If any one of those pillars of democracy are challenged, just install a judicial activist rubber stamp to "interpret" by predetermination whatever you want, and presto: Trader Joes in your neighborbood. Bonus: you can call it a public private partnership, for great success!

His inability to write means that an employer would have to invest in training him the basics of English, and if he graduated without learning basic English I would be likely to assume he didn't learn a great many others things that an employer would need to train him for. [Also, his writing does not reflect well on the university he attended or on its recent graduates.]
The fact that he thinks it's OK to beg from others to pay bills he knowingly incurred would make me wonder whether he had realistic expectations of the company. It also makes me wonder about his judgment: if he thinks it's OK to beg others to pay his school costs what else does he think is OK? Beg customers to buy his lunch, pay his rent, or fix his car, maybe?
He may be a great guy, as an earlier post indicates, but I think he has made some significant mistakes. Let's hope he takes ownership of his financial obligations and let's hope he takes a remedial English class before he ruins his reputation.

I think I understand your perspective. Prior to becoming a pilot I was a hiring manager at a Fortune 100 company. I'd have strong reservations about hiring a person who a) claims to be a college graduate but can barely write, and b) used an internet begging campaign to defray his college expenses.

Anthony’s true calling seems to be as a huckster-spokesperson for T.V. infomercials. This seems to be his destiny with the skills he has presented thus far in his social media setting.
Move over Vince Offer, there’s a new kid in town!

Wow, I wanna be debt free too. Gonna set up a GoFundMe account! Please help pay my Mortgage, Student loans, Truck payment, so my kids don't go hungry. We all signed on the dotted line every time we took on a debt, no one to blame but ourselves. Kinda hard to feel bad for a kid sitting on the steps of a Corporate jet, who went to a overpriced school. I took one look at the cost at UND in 2000 and knew it was way out of reach for me or my family to afford. It was Community college and State school for me. First world problems for sure!

According to the Oxford English Dictionary, he wants everyone to be his tool:
TOOL

noun
1A device or implement... ...used to carry out a particular function.
I did find a video of him:

I nominate this guy. "The world was hard on me. Give me money for grammar school." We all have/ had debt and our own life stories. No one cried for free money about it. HELP - Aviation Student Debt by Anthony Ward - GoFundMe
There's this new program for kids called...
GET A JOB.
I worked my way through all my licenses, pounding nails, waiting tables, tending bar, while going to school, to pay for my flying lessons.
You want me to pay for yours too?
Anthony, go -fund- yourself!
