Have to agree with ER . This unfortunate situation is the very reason we have AOC's (To offer protection to passengers) who may well have no idea about non airline flying (or equipment used).
AOC's do not stop accidents, but at least they have an impact on the level of service been offered and reduce the risks.
AOC's are safety related not profit driven, plus are expensive to operate, but they exist to protect travellers from the potential consequences of cost cutting and poor standards.
