Huh? Is 'Jim' a CFI? Thought the Troy guy was a student pilot?

Troy is a student pilot. Schaeffer is not a CFI. Schaeffer was acting PIC (a
student cannot act as PIC). From the various articles, it appears that Schaeffer
was not attempting to provide instruction, so he doesn't have to be a CFI. The
situation is exactly the same as if I were taking my family on a trip and had my
non-rated stepson handle the controls. Note that Schaeffer apparently was *not*
current to carry passengers, however, and he's been charged on that count.
