Yes. It is absolutely shocking that this sort of thing is allowed in Europe. This is unwitting passengers thinking they are paying for a private, professional charter, and instead getting an HVAC guy with a private pilot's license. It's absolutely astounding to me that this is allowed. It will eventually be stopped once there are enough dead bodies. Mark my words. The FAA is spot-on about this nonsense.
