The pilot flying for a living is operating under at least a BCPL but more likley CPL/IR with frozen ATPL first timers building hour to eventually fly you around the world on an airliner. Aerial work is conducted in accordance with strict rules approved by the CAA.
Next time your transiting over a town consider a professional may be working there
better still try using LARS,ATC and transponders. I have people fly under me often.
Look forward to seeing you on board.
Some of that £25 helps pay me.
