Printing (business) cards with the Jobtitle "Commercial Pilot"....

For people to stay in touch with you? In case they need what? Help with Windows10?
That's holding out.
Pure and simple.
How did you ever come up with the conclusion posting "commercial pilot" on a business card is holding out. I'm a commercial pilot / CFI and you bet it would be on a business card if I ever cared about making any for clients for instruction or scenic flights as "holding out" rules do not apply to this part and does not require an operators license.... Holding out is where you furnish an aircraft hire to the public for anything other than th "exceptions" such as I listed above. The only thing you can do to fringe this is when you fly "for hire" when the client is the sole owner of that aircraft because it is "Private Cariage"
