Are we arguing here that it is OK to sweep the hangar and clean aeroplanes for free but not to fly for free?
Isn't the argument that it's okay to be paid to sweep the hangar and clean aeroplanes? I didn't think anyone was suggesting freebie cleaning services.
Knew of a guy who had a very successful business and
PAID an owner to fly his plane in commercial ops...
That's akin to having a negative self worth.
