For those following along about the Warbird Adventures decision, the 
article that started all of this off is:

However, before getting too far in the weeds, you should look carefully 
at both the decision itself:

and the Morris letter that I mentioned during the meeting:

https://www.faa.gov/about/office_org/headquarters_offices/agc/practice_areas/regulations/interpretations/data/interps/2014/Morris%20-%20(2014)%20Legal%20Interpretation.pdf

If you're paid to give instruction, you're carved out of 135 by 
135.1(a)1 and 119.1(e)1.  That hasn't changed and the court wasn't 
looking at that at all.  Instead, they were merely affirming what the 
FAA has always said about 91.315 is still true today: in limited 
category aircraft, you need a waiver.

So, I'm not at all worried about this.

(Standard disclaimer: I've spent way too much time reading these regs, 
LOIs, and court documents, but I'm neither *a* lawyer, nor *your* 
lawyer.  If you're still upset by the whole thing, seek a professional 
skilled in those arts.)
