Wingly is great for experienced pilots, but they really need to put experience requirements to prevent people like this, 100hrs PIC min sounds fair surely? What happened to flying with some family, friends and fellow pilots first and doing some proper hour building?
Inexperienced pilots with no idea of their limits pushed to deliver, is something that could really unfairly harm Wingly's reputation if anything goes wrong. I can only hope it gets solved before it goes terribly wrong.
Yes, IMO even posting the ad is illegal and Wingly should take it down without delay.
However that doesn't change the fact that genuine cost sharing is legal and is independent of the way in which people sharing those costs agree to do so. The decision as to whether an individual pilot or rider wants to do so or not is, of course, entirely for them to make.
