There may be, though I would be surprised if anyone does. You are at the mercy of the weather, winds too high? Nope. Looks perfect but there is a nasty windshear at 1000m? Nope.

You still have to have your crew ready even when you call it off. They need to be paid. There are exceptions with crew where you might barter training against pay if someone wants to become a pilot. Still there is work to be done even if you don’t fly. I haven’t been involved for awhile, when I was, any no fly day cut into profit even if there was a reschedule. I doubt that has changed.

I still hold my Lighter Than Air license, I never had a Commericial Pilots License ( you need that for paying passengers) but haven’t flown in a bit.
