The rules are to strict. If your friend is a pilot and you guys decide to go out on a flight, you can't in any way pitch in for gas money because it could be interpreted as commercial exchange. In my opinion the FAA is overreaching. I live in a rural area with an airport and would love to be able to fly to my home town, Portland, on a regular basis for business and pleasure. Right now to fly to Portland I'd have to drive 120 miles to Medford, OR , then fly down to San Francisco, then fly to Seattle and connect a fight to Portland! And back again. It'd be cheaper and faster to take Greyhound.

That isn't true and that is not at all what I said. You can be compensated legally. You just can't be over compensated. In other words, you are not allowed to make a profit on a private license.

Or, you could fly from Medford to Portland? My first search shows Alaska Airlines flies multiple daily flights between MFR and PDX.
