A few bad apples ruin it for everyone. Perhaps the "good" 135 operators need to press the FAA for much MORE oversight in the 135 environment, instead of letting their competition go down killing more people.
You have redeemed yourself. What you say is so true. Part 135 air carriers that try all they can to do the right thing sometimes seem to get raked over the coals for a small paperwork problem. At the same time,there are what we call "Part 134.5 operators" out there flying charter WITH NO CERTIFICATE AT ALL!! Believe it or not, the problem is rather widespread, yet nothing seems to be done about it most of the time.
