There already are plenty of 135s providing EAS, but they smartly use smaller aircraft (as intended) to do this.

In the mid 90's I was flying the Brasilia with 30 seats under part 135 all over the rocky mountian region (ranging from Texas to California and pretty much every state in between up and down the Rockies ). Multiple states usually in the same day with no dispatcher, and filing my own flight plans with Flight Service. And the flight training was all in the aircraft, middle of the night in RAP and with no IOE either. first flight with passengers on board was with a regular line Captain, from RAP to DEN (Stapleton) and a whopping total of roughly 7-8 hours in the right seat.
Can't say I miss those days.
