Unless the FAA regs have changed, CAP has an exemption that allows their
to be reimbursed for the CAP missions. Note, I didn't say "paid" (as in
a paycheck), but reimbursed for the costs. See CAPR 60-1 for details.

No, not strickly speaking. Actual CAP missions are paid 100% by the
AirForce. However, they often run out of money for training so you may
end up spending money getting checked out in the plane, etc. However,
when you get paged asking if you can fly a Search and Rescue mission,
if you have a commercial ticket, its 100% paid for. You can also get
free flying time moving planes from place to place for missions as well
as giving orientation rides to cadets (although those seem to run out
of money pretty quick).

I guess this doesn't apply to me, but out of curiosity - if you don't
have a commercial, you have to pay to fly missions?
