   After spending an hour mulling over my irritation at the fun-masquerading-as-charity industry they tapped me heading out the door and asked if I'd be willing to "help out"

   If some douche with a case full of appleberry® Prime™ in the right seat of his R22 kills me I'm cursing all of you chungi with diarrhea for at least a week

     Takeaways:
     
     - "You'd be good because you're young, you don't mind sleeping in a tent for a few years
     
     - What year is your phone? We need to get LOTS of pics for the company account, make sure you record everything
     
     - Well we haven't ironed out what the payload is, we'll probably just make a run to sam's club, drop some stuff off, and talk to coordinators there to see where they need things moved around. Stick around for a day or two, maybe do another supply run, just to say we did it
     
     - "eeeeehhhhhhhhhhh I'd rather you not pick anyone up, it puts us in a grey area if you're on the clock, we're probably in the clear but I don't know if our insurance covers us if you're just picking up random people and flying them wherever (boomers spooked over P135 crackdown over the summer, IDK)
     
     - Do you have one of those things that ties your phone into the comms panel? It would be good to get a bunch of video
     
     - IDK, you guys will have to figure out where you're going, flight planning ain't MY thing"
     
     oh and worst of all:
     
     - Pay: " I dunno, we'll figure something out"
     
     Cool so red flags all around

     @pyrate No this is opportunistic PR, and I half suspect it's an excuse to ferry something back. Something's fishy, it makes me wonder if there's an aircraft that made it out of the storm zone that one of us would bring back here, this is all scatterbrained and last-minute. Maybe one too many "wait, you guys aren't doing anything" calls got to the owner.

     Maybe, it is certainly a little strange given they are now getting aid into the area. I hope you're able to get a better word on pay and guaranteed insurance for your efforts though.
