I’ve never seen anyone pay for someone else’s trip here. I see no logical reason too. We can’t bid to fly with check airmen either. What is common here is say you have a trip you just can’t seem to get anyone to pick up from you and can’t trade out of it, so you post to drop with a sweetener of $500 if anyone picks it up. I’ve never done it in either end and would feel bad taking a fellow pilot’s money like that. I don’t think there is anything against the rules about it however.So this kind of thing is basically shop-specific, where one airline and its pilot group either doesn’t address it or basically allows it, while another airline and/or pilot group specifically prohibits it? If this is the case, am surprised more airlines don’t specifically disallow it, if just due to your last sentence alone.
