The FAA
would (if they got wind of it) probably look closely at whether your
passenger regularly rented a plane and hired various pilots, or if you were
in the habit of flying for people who just happened to rent an airplane from
the same place every time.

Why would this be an issue. You are a commercial pilot, you are being
paid to fly a plane, and since you are not arranging the plane, you
don't need to be a commercial =operator=.

Especially as you are essentially flying for costs, which is what a
private pilot is supposed to be able to do (and =was= able to do back
before the FAA did this "pro-rata" mess with the rules).
