I gave the person an example of a method of receiving a soft money compensation. Just turn the airshow into a competition flight, seeing that you are using a "team" of pilots, and then you have your solution. I think I made several attempts to explain certain methods of creating soft money payment solutions. These are what you call "legal loopholes". These methods are used in more then just our little world. They are especially popular in the political arena and the financial markets.
Ohhhhhhh..... Now respond to OP's inquiry with a direct answer. Does AMA allow "legal loopholes" that are popular in the political arena and financial markets to apply to demonstration pilots getting paid? OP is concerned about AMA insurance covering him, and not using "legal ratholes" to squirm out of paying a claim. Enough with the examples from other sectors. What would AMA do? is the question.
