I've seen a few ads in the employment section of the paper looking for "Salesmen" who have a PPL. The deal is to fly the company aircraft, loaded with company products, to remote communities and sell the stuff. Fair bit of "hire and reward" involved in paying the "salesman"; so how do these people get around that one if selling a photo taken on a private flight means the pilot is in breach of the regs?

For crying out loud, anyone who flies for charity (Angel Flight etc) isn't doing that to try to beat the system. Why does the Corporation Against Sensible Aviation spend so much time and energy on trying to curb such activities? Have they really lost the plot that badly or am I missing something?
