Indeed. Amy did it for prize money, she had to buy the aircraft and finish the flight before she got paid; no sponsors painted all over "Jason". She was also the first ever female to qualify as an engineer so she could do her own repairs and maintenance.

If Tracey was doing this for charity, such as the flights by Polly Vacher, I might feel a bit more positive about it.
