If the airlines are providing "training" then surely all the Captains with whom the "trainees" fly should be training captains. I do not believe this to be the case, therefore they cannot really be providing training. The newspaper the photographer was providing free photographs to was not required by legislation to have a qualified photographer providing it's photos, whereas all commercial aircraft are certified as minimum 2 crew. This seems to me to indicate that this requires someone doing a job, hence the need to be paid at least minimum wage.
Has there ever been a challenge along these lines on the legality of P2F?
