It is fine - as I said operator is happy for me to use their aircraft, I tell them exactly what I am doing, and DGAC is happy too. It is not a scam - it is perfectly legal so nothing for you to get upset about.
And as I said at the start of the thread, I get asked to fly people, mostly friends and freinds of friends - I don't advertise or initiate anything. So from now on I will just tell callers to hire an aeroplane, and if it is one that I can fly, that I will happily fly them for free and for pleasure. They can have the choice, if they wish, of paying for one of the operator's company pilots. Happy now?
