Quite apart from all the obvious things, if a dodgy operator, not paying all the fees and charges a legit operator has to pay, derives a benefit of around 30k then the industry is stuffed.
He is either a really crap businessman (on top of being dodgy) or GA as we know it may as well pack up and go home as there simply isn’t the margin there to support a properly resourced, licenced operator with aeroplanes maintained to the appropriate standard.
When punters moan about paying for an airfare that cost less than the taxi ride to the airport for a flight on a 100 million dollar jet, what hope has some bloke in uopercomebucktawest got?
