Yes, Felton had his personal pilot's certificate suspended, and Houston's 135 certificate was suspended for awhile. The feds found an unserviceable crosstube on a 206 and demanded that it be removed. The next day they checked the helicopter, and sure enough it had a different gear, but the condemned gear was found on another ship on the ramp. As I understand it, the 135 certificate was reinstated under the condition that Felton would have nothing to do with the company. His brother-in-law runs another company in the Gulf that charges low rates, and got many of the Houston aircraft. One oil company I remember, now deceased, but formerly referred to as Cheap Cheap Oil & Gas, contracted with Houston to fly the contract production hands, but the corporate folks rented from one of the majors when they flew out.
If I ever lose my job, I'll work as a used car salesman before I'll fly for Houston.
