I dont see why I cant take new people along for my flights and split the costs with them. Im going to fly anyways ill gladly share my seats with people even if i dont make a dime whereas i'm saving up so that I can fly more.
Nothing wrong at all as long you make sure they understand perfectly clear that they are flying with a rank amateur who is building hours in order to meet the entry requirements in order to become a professional pilot where they will then be trained to carry fair paying passengers. They should understand the risk clearly they are undertaking and that they are paying you a share of the costs as a friend not for a flight service.
