situations like that are extremely frustrating...I have a job flying around in cessna and am constantly looking for the next thing after my contract.

I even charged someone who just wanted to go up for some flight mentoring, I told him I wasn't a CFI and that he couldn't log any of it but but he was still enthusiastic and wanted me to sit right seat. I charged him $25/hour and he thought it was totally worth it.

yes but i agree with the post. DON"T CONFUSE HOBBY WITH PROFESSION!
