A passenger cannot initiate a flight, that's the ruling, whether
you or I like it or not.

And if the passenger happens to be your wife who suggests that you
fly off to some nice little airport with a restaurant nearby for
dinner? And she picks up the tab? Or what about if instead of
being married, you've just been living together for the last 20+
years?

What if it's your girlfriend and after dinner you're "rewarded" with
an intimate encounter? Would the FAA consider that compensation? Could
your girlfriend then be charged with prostitution?

How could that possibly be, when she's the "John" (payer) in this
instance? OTOH, _you_ might be charged with prostitution after being
busted for accepting compensation for a "charter" flight on your PPL. ;-)
