What's your question? Well, if you're referring to many of the Part 135, light charter ops, that are doing the same thing. Yes, you are an employee. I know light charter ops love to mis-classify their pilots as contractors as well. I should really make the same post in the Part 135 forums.
Here's more IRS info. More specifically, go to page 7.

You are an employee when told:
· When and where to do the work.
· What tools or equipment to use.
· What workers to hire or to assist with the work.
· Where to purchase supplies and services.
· What work must be performed by a specified individual.
· What order or sequence to follow.
