Depends.
If you take your kid up and fly over the lake ... if you relieve your stress flying gentlemen's aerobatics in a Citabria ... ?
The FAA also permits an exemption for those who are performing flying incidental to their business, but not holding forth as commercial pilots. In other words, there is a distinction between a commercial pilot flying an employee to a meeting for compensation and the employee flying himself to a meeting.
The hinge point is the murky area of what is a "commercial operation" ? My semi informed best guess is that a pilot would be prohibited from carrying passengers or cargo in any form. I'm even careful carrying parts, salvage, or consultants. Usually those sort of hings go on FedEx really well and have the advantage of not leaving greasy spots on the interior

As to what Bar said, the legal letter I got back from the FAA when I asked them a question about charitable flying was that if you receive a benefit of any time then that is compensation and you need by a commercial pilot and operator. I think they provided an exemption but as Bar implied that whole thing is murky. And the best person I've ever seen making a living out of that murkiness was from the FAA. It helps if you put your friends in an awkward situation and nothing is really ever done.

I agree with you.

Because...If trip parking went away, the only way to do that is if someone posts a trip drop on the PTP swap board (as a just take it). The pick up limit is the limit for the most part now. Right?
In my category, a just take it trip drop is just slightly less rare than a greenslip.

At some point I think the shareholders will force a change. They're likely pointing to all the money being left on the table with the silly little "Bags fly free" campaign. With no room for organic growth, and an industry that is continuing to see strong capacity discipline, SWA will have to find other forms of revenue. Plus, AirTran is still charging for bags.
Slowly, but surely, this industry is gravitating to an allegiant model.
