"Sporty" is a polite way to describe it.

"Do whatever the fuck you want as long as nobody dies" is more apt. If you ever want to see what would happen to commercial aviation with no rules, oversight and regulation, go watch bush pilots operate. I've been on planes held together with tape, overloaded with cargo, with inebriated "walking drunk" pilots.

Good Times.
