there is quite a bit of difference between being caught in class A airspace and a mistake
and
sitting on the ground, filing an IFR flight plan WITHOUT HAVING AN INSTRUMENT RATING, then going to a plane, calling clearance delivery (aka ground) getting the clearance, then switching to tower and taking off .
one is a mistake (and shouldn't have happened) and one is an intentional act.
the pilot involved had also done other questionable things like flying under bridges.
but maybe all that stuff is ok, just youthful hijinks, right?
