So as not to impede commercial aviation, pilots flying
recreational or sport aircraft for their own enjoyment, or pilots
flying GA aircraft for their own leisure, should consider giving way
to aircraft being used for ‘commerce’ provided that the
inconvenience to their own operation is not great and it can be done
safely. Operators of commercial flights should never expect a give
way offer to be assumed or automatic. Any offer to give way must
be explicit and its acceptance acknowledged.
This is undeniably good practice, but it comes with the reciprocal consideration of the commercial guys not bitching and moaning about "subsidizing" the costs of recreational/sport/rich boys flying.
