"Mainline" Able to travel to suit your needs? Isn't that frowned on at mainline? Must be DL with a 220 type.

using pass privileges for commercial purposes is more than frowned upon. It’s grounds for pass privilege and even job termination.

Hilarious. No one should ever considering using a non-mainline CFI.

DL stereotype rides on...

I see flight attendants advertising their flight benefits all the time. Some literally make a profit off of it.

They'll get fired if they get caught.

The way some get away with it is by advertising the service, but not naming the airline. That way it doesn't come to the attention of any one airline. If you advertise "Delta Buddy Passes for Sale!", DL's brand monitors would catch that pretty quickly, same for the other big airlines (they have full-time staff patrolling the internet for anything and everything related to their brand image.

Somewhat related, at USAir there was a F/A with a nice Mercedes whose tag read in abbreviated format "Liquor Money".
