RE: GETTING PAID
Well it's going to be hard to do Ira and for a lot of obvious reasons. Same reason they made worker's comp a law, since so many companies tried to work their way around it.
What's the difference if you do 1 show or 100 shows? Are you going to report to the AMA each time you host a compensated show, or are you going to only report your show when there is an accident? Many of companies tried this method when trying to insure their employees on the day their employees were injured.
Also the "for compensation" the AMA has now is only for designated air-ops based fields. So I assume both the AMA and their insurance provider had safety on their mind as well.
