Yes. Most people don't know this, but there's two certifications for "getting paid as a pilot" one is the commercial certificate, the other is the airline transport pilot (pilot vernacular is to say "she/he's an ATP"). So when you think of "commercial air carriers" those are ATPs. People who fly cargo, certified flight instructors, many charter pilots, etc have commercial certificates.
