I disagree Sir. Under 14 CFR, Part 121, a change of ownership of a 121 certificate must be filed with and approved by the Air Certification Branch in Washington, D.C. That information is not normally made public but the filing must be made. In the case of new management (exercising operational control over 14 CRF Part 121 or 135 carriers), that has to be registered with and approved by the FAA.

As a point of fact, when a company changes its' name or "d.b.a.", a filing must be made with the DOT. In Pace's case, that filing was approved by the DOT on 21 July, 2009.

No one has said anything about "owning aircraft". That's an entirely different matter.

G'day
