I've worked for a 135 company and it was pretty shady at times, but some of the things in the article seemed to not have been researched thorougly. The heli company arranging a fixed wing charter for instance. The word arranging is pretty vague, and it could mean any number of things. Hell, I could "arrange" a fixed wing charter, by picking up the phone and calling a 135 fixed wing company myself.
It is my dream to fly for, or start a small 135 company at some point in the future and I really hope this article doesn't screw things up.
