A commercial pilot being paid to carry passengers cannot provide the
plane (including renting one) without being an operator.

But if it's a local sightseeing flight, then the pilot is only an operator
for purposes of the part-135 drug-testing rules, not for purposes of any
part-119 requirements, right? (FAR 119.1e2 says that part 119 does not
apply to local sightseeing flights, and 135.1c says only that the
drug-testing sections of part 135 apply to such flights.)
