Customary, I&#x27;m probably going to get downvoted for this but..<p>What part of there being a &quot;transaction&quot; makes the flight inherently unsafe? Does a &quot;transaction&quot; imply that the private pilot will be flying more to make money, therefore be less safe? If that&#x27;s the case shouldn&#x27;t there just be a limitation on the number of flights private pilots can do?<p>Are private pilots not supposed to take passengers with them? If that&#x27;s the case, maybe there can be additional safety&#x2F;certification requirements imposed for private pilots (without requiring them needing to learn all the ins and outs of commercial 747 flights).<p>A blanket ban just because there is money involved seems silly.
