No he's teaching for hire which is acceptted as OK by the FAA to do with a
3rd class medical.

So flight instructors don't fly?

No, the flying is incidental to the job, which is teaching. As a PPSEL employed
at one time as a systems engineer, I could draw my salary while flying to a
meeting I had to attend. My employer could even pay the entire cost of the
flight. The CFI is doing exactly the same thing.
