(36,814 posts)8. They sure do
If someone wants to get paid for the privilege and stay within the bounds of relevant laws and regulations, there's no other way to do it.

Besides, it's against the law to deliver beer in most jurisdictions.
Sadly.
I might be tempted to move back to a city for beer delivery. Food delivery is one of the things I truly miss about urban life.

A commercial pilot license (CPL) or, in the United States, a commercial pilot certificate, is a qualification that permits the holder to act as the pilot in command of a single pilot aircraft, or as co-pilot of a multi-pilot aircraft and be paid for his/her work.
