That's big of you....NOT
I don't think there is any conflict here with a commercial pilot trying to make a living.
When I had my PPL but no FI/CPL, the organisation I did the hourbuulding with gave me approx 30 hours free flights on the basis that I paid for 1 sector and they paid for the return sector (it was normally swopping aircraft between bases), I was not capable of earning money and it helped the organisation out as they had less money lost on dead sectors.
There was no dodgy commercial flights here. What we don't want is actual commercial flights where the pilot is flying for free or even worse paying to fly, when the pax are paying as well.
what Hughes500 suggests is "win,win" IMO
