I'm a General Aviation Pilot.
I can share up to 50% of the cost of any flight I make with my passengers. If I want to make money, the article gives the solution...
"The FAA has ruled that pilots who wish to engage in this sort of activity must have commercial licenses."
No different than Uber who would not want any of its drivers to operate without the proper license. But show me where Uber says they want unlicensed drivers and you'll make your case that improperly licensed pilots should be able to make money flying passengers.
