Can anyone clarify this:
Slowly the "teaching" @ my school in regard to commercial ops and holding out etc.. etc... is changing from the way I was taught and still teach. --Imagine that--
Someone comes up to you on the ramp and asks you to take them to Atlanta for $300 in YOUR airplane. Not his. Yours. I was taught this is common carriage....some people are saying otherwise.
The justification was not only are you accepting the job for your pilot services, which is fine, but you are showing a willingness by arranging your personal aircraft on top of it. Some have gone as far as saying this, especially if repeated(in your a/c) makes you a commercial operator....
This is also how it was explained to me on my FAA checkride. It made perfect sense to me......
However, the skirmish continues, mostly between the older guys and the newest ones hired(taught this "new" way)
If anyone can clear this up it would be appreciated!
