I think the underlying point here is that "charging" for instruction
has nothing to do with medicals when it comes to a CFI. According to
the FAA FAQ the reasoning behind this is that CFIs are paid to teach
not to fly. As a CFI I must agree. For every hour of instruction I log,
I'm lucky to get 30 seconds on the controls. In actual fact there were
probably more political forces at work than logical but the fact is
that whether a CFI charges or not does not at all effect his need for a
medical.

Then why is a commercial required in order to get a CFI?
