I think that you and teacherjh are the ones who are splitting hairs. It is
obvious that he will collect his paycheck for his employment

And he's permitted to. It's the reimbursement for the cost of the airplane
he was asking about, which is not his paycheck. He can get paid, AND he can
get paid (except, of course, by your overly strict definition of "paid").
