I assume it's not legal to take passengers on these flights.

A second pilot (Must Be Instrument Rated) can come along and
help fly as required crew. And a large bank account to cover
their expenses.- H

almost that must just hopping the local airports.

What's the reasoning for the second pilot to have instrument
rating? Isn't having a second pilot a bonus with or without an IR?

How's th epilot going to sleep if he knows the second guy is going to
spear in while he's napping?

I'm thinking that the weather would be fairly predictable and the
rated pilot can plan his rests along the way.


Well, I used to do that and some sectors can be pretty long. 12 hours
isn't uncommon and I've doen 17.5. 15 minutes of napping can make a big
difference!
