There was one case where, even though he was sitting asleep in the back
seat of a four place plane, the FAA ruled that the pilot was PIC simply
because he was an ATP while those flying the plane were an instructor
and private pilot.

I have heard this story so many times that it seems to have almost acheived
urban legend status. Can you point me in the direction of where I might
find this case? I've tried to search for this but I've been unsuccessful.
