If you are advertising a service, you are holding out. A
private pilot may share the total cost of a flight that is
the private pilot's purpose, a trip that would be taken even
if there was no one to share the costs with. A commercial
pilot may do that same as private part 91 operation. But a
commercial pilot may be hired, as the employee of the
aircraft owner to fly the airplane. But that airplane can
only carry the owner and his cargo and passengers, no person
who is charged for the flight because that would be "for
hire."
