Indeed. But it depends on one's definition of "compensation". If he gets
hours out of it, I'm curious how your IRS would account for that -- a
non-cash remuneration.

It's only the FAA that thinks that intangible job experiece is
renumeration.

They got it from the IRS and their version of "Wages and Salaries" (not what
the 16th originally defined).


However, if you can put a dollar value on the compensation then it is
generally
taxable. For example, if they let him rent the plane at no cost for his
own use,
that's taxable, but the experience of doing his job (even though he is
logging it)
isn't.
