Uhhh, not paid. In fact one of my trip reports have been sponsored or paid. A lot of the inaugural flight fans that were flying with me actually all paid for their own flight. I like to share my experiences and this one was a once in a lifetime for me, It's unfortunate that you think that just because someone enjoys and is excited about an experience is disingenuous. I've flown a lot just like most here and I'd take this plane over any narrow body hands down.
