Holding Out!

Hello folks,

Working on commercial ground take home quiz for college and I have two scenarios, just wanted to run them by here to see if I got it right...

Two scenarios;

Quote:

Jesse was a commercial pilot who was sitting in a restaurant waiting for his check after eating a scrumptious chili dog. He overheard a conversation from the people sitting next to him who said they needed to go to Fresno for the weekend, but the airlines are all booked up. A light bulb illuminated above Jesse"s head, and he introduced himself to those next to him, "Hey I'm Jesse, I can fly you guys to Fresno in my plane!"
"How much would it cost?" they asked.
"I'll do it for 400 dollars."

Is Jesse doing anything in violation of the FARs? If so, how?
I think this one is illegal and he is "holding out" ... He doesn't have the intention to go to Fresno himself but he wants to carry passengers for hire, he is approaching them for this contract. If there was a contract between them, maybe it would not have been illegal. Am I on the right track?

Quote:

My parents know I'm a commercial pilot, and they want to pay me to fly them from point A to point B, a distance of 388 nautical miles, for a vacation. Is this flight legal?
I think this one is the opposite since the family is approaching our pilot, he is not offering his services as a package or "holding out" as a commercial operator, it is legal.



Thanks!
