A friend of mine got a 30 day suspension and a bad record for 5 years

flight following in case they get into the class C by mistake.

Robert,
A 30 day suspension for what?Did he contest this in court?What
happened to his instructor?

He busted the airspace so there wasn't much to contest. I'm sure if
he'd gone to court and lost the FAA would haved asked for at least 90
days (this is typical, 30 days now or make us go to court and we'll
ask for 90). He did have to report it to his insurance co for
something like 5 years, after that the FAA removed it from his record.

How does using flight following absolve you from guilt when you
violate a reg?

If he has flight following he's not violated any reg.
