Not to me. Being a 'pro' also implies a level of competence. Airlines only hire 'professional' pilots......for good reason. Getting paid to perform at an amateur level only means that the guy that hired you is either a relative or an idiot...most likely, both. The same applies to those who would pay to see you.

Chas, there is a difference between being a "professional", and being a "competent professional"(or "incompetent professional", if you prefer), wouldn't you agree?
They all get paid.
