Isn't Pay to Fly dying??

I'm not really in the first job and p2f scene, but from what I hear this damaging cancer is starting to die out....am I not correct???

Someone mentioned (many posts above) that p2f has not been banned by anyone.
Well that is true, but here in Asia most regulatory authorities (CAAC, CAAS etc etc) have STRONGLY advised against airlines taking p2f tourists on.

Also, I think most airlines have realised that the publicity fallout (if after an incident) when the media find out that one of the persons flying the plane was not a pilot but a tourist.........could be bad.

It seems that most airlines are realising the potential downfall is far worse than saving a few bucks allowing tourists to fly the planes.

Now as mentioned before, I'm not in the p2f or an initio scene so I'm definately out of touch but it did look like p2f was pumping a few years ago, but now it seems to be dying a slow and well deserved death.

However, I could be wrong...comments???
