I suspect the poster means it is his "private" or personal pilot, not the license its self. Same term as "private jet" in the US, that is often flown by ATPL licensed pilots for hire.

The ad poster clearly has no idea what they're getting into.

Kind of doubt that. Here's the ad:

Private Pilot
Wandure Inc. - Ottawa, ON

Wandure is looking for an awesome private pilot to give cool rides to tourists and locals who want to discover Ottawa from above!

Requirements:

- Have access to an aircraft
- Sociable and fun
- Self-motivated
- Owns a smartphone

Please don’t hesitate to apply, we won’t bite!
Check us out: www.wandure.com

Job Type: Freelance


I looked up their website and what they're doing (basically hooking people up with tour guides in touristy places) is a neat enough idea, and I think they innocently don't know how the legalities of pilots and planes for hire.

I saw that, and immediately looked up Wandure.

They're a 3rd party travel sharing company, like uber, but focused more on sharing travel and expenses.

Private pilot and access to a plane? Sounds soooper legit, especially in the eyes of TC I'm sure....

Guess someone informed them that they couldn’t use a private pilot

I thought everyone who didn't fly for the airlines was a private pilot? :rolleyes:
