You are kidding right? Let's see, $100/hour flight divided $8.00/hour =
12.5 hours of work for every 1 hour of flight time.

But the big problem is insurance namely workers' compensation. The
carrier get a premium based on wages paid. If there are no wages there
is no premium. And while there are policies that will cover volunteer
labor they are few and far between.
