Tan's will not use anything resembling an actual airline operating certificate when there is always a bottom feeder willing to go deeper into the weeds.
Tan's like to do everything as cheap as possible (just look at their tuna hauler op, APA) this is why they were naturally attracted to the shuck and jive pinch they were given by Swift.
Tan's got what they deserve. The employees are always the one who suffer the most. Brief history on whose these guys are...
In 1991, Levi Strauss & Co. was embarrassed by a scandal involving six subsidiary factories run by the Tan family on the Northern Mariana Islands, in which Chinese laborers suffered under what the U.S. Department of Labor called "slavelike" conditions. Cited for sub-minimal wages, seven-day work week schedules with twelve-hour shifts, poor living conditions and other indignities (including the alleged removal of passports and the virtual imprisonment of workers), Tan would eventually pay what was then the largest fines in U.S. labor history, distributing more than $9 million in restitution to some 1200 employees.[1][2][3] At the time, Tan factories produced 3% of Levi's jeans with the "Made in the U.S.A." label.
