I am being compensated by the person going to the gun show. No holding out, was approached out of the blue. Airplane is being lended to me by friend who owns it and is not charging me to rent.

Correct. Sorry should have clarified I will be the PIC taking a friend in a different friends aircraft. This is a scenario, flying a friends Seminole to a gun show, for a CMEL check ride - just want to cover all my bases if the examiner starts asking about regs dealing with transportation of...

It would be a dry lease. No operating cert required. http://www.aopa.org/News-and-Video/All-News/2014/PPS/Wet-Versus-Dry-Leasing-Its-not-about-the-fuel And thank you for clarifying the 119 issue.... gotta love the FARs!

Do you have a commercial operators permit?

Still for compensation, so I thought that 119 would apply.

Care to narrow that down? Haha as I said I have looked to no avail...

Flying a friends light twin! But not paying the pro-rata! Just want to stay legal.

OK so I am having some trouble finding info pertaining to PRIVATE CARRIAGE commercial operations with guns and ammo aboard. All I am able to find is info pertaining to part 91 GA ops. Aside from the usual precautions and such listed with articles pertaining to part 91 gun/ammo carriage, can...

I have recently learned/spoken with some folks about Vmc rolls, specifically in Seminoles/PA-44s.... The synopsis I have gotten is this: It is impossible to recover, regardless of how many thousands of feet AGL one is, without the plane falling apart. The question is this: Is that...

I feel as though this thread took a turn from the originally intended purpose. I simply wanted to see if Sporty's CS was rude to anyone else - it turned in to 'you are stupid/naive/childish/wrong with unreasonable expectations'.... All of you successful old salty dogs are far superior -...

I think I will come back to POA once I get to the mainline. It seems as though the demo here doesn't have much tolerance for the beginning pilot with loads of debt.... The point of my post wasn't to start a 'I'm wrong, you're right' debate ~ I simply wanted to see if Sporty's treated everyone...

Lesson learned with that one. I will avoid Sporty's. I just made my own knee board with a $2 Walmart clipboard and a nylon webbing strap from an old military backpack. Would have preferred the trifold obviously, but this should do. Thanks

Not looking for charity. I appreciate the offer but for some reason based in the posts I don't think anyone is here to help. I would rather not give an address out.

Just wanted to support Sporty.... and get a slightly superior option compared to those on Amazon - I sure learned my lesson.

That's a good guess.... clearly I am not worth the time. Why be polite when you can be rude and end the call 30 seconds sooner that way?! You folks really know what goes into successful business, where did you get your MBAs?... In all seriousness, businesses need to win one customer at a...

Right. The main point here is the fact that they were unreasonably rude in response to my reasonable (dependent upon who you ask) request. Period.

You can read me like a book. Hah! To answer your question, anyone with 10 extra minutes and the wherewithal to understand they could win a customer for life in those 10 extra minutes. You all seem to know much more about business than I do.... thanks for putting me in my place!

Please refer to the definition of 'request' and compare it to 'demand'

No Josh, basically I was treated poorly - if she wasn't rude this post would have never came to be.... Reasonable requests(matter of opinion, don't argue) don't deserve rude treatment. End of story. Period.

I wasn't asking them to lose money for me. I wanted to pay more than the MSRP so they wouldn't lose any money... it would've taken ten minutes of their time to list the item and then put it in a box and ship it out. I guess going the extra 1/4 of a mile was too much for Sporty's. But like I...
