Hi guys,
I'm a long time reader of this forums. I've probably read every thread in Hangar Talk and Flight Following for the last two years. (At least for the first two pages before the thread inevitably digresses into an off topic argument)
Anyway, I saw an ad on my Facebook for this service called Sharemysky.org. I looked at the site which is pretty scarce of quality information and didn't have any of my questions answered. Naturally, I was curious so I went here to read about it and didn't see a thread on the topic so I thought I would bring it up.
The website basically says it matches up pilots with passengers. I was interested in the legalities of this and how this service complies with the regs. It says that pilots post flights and passengers then sign up and pay for the flights on the website. Seems to me like a 135 operation but I'm probably wrong. I would not be a user of the service as I really don't have any desire or monetary need to take on the hassle/ liability of carrying a paying passenger but was hoping to hear the forum experts thoughts on the service.
Thanks!
Matt
