is a scam because all you are doing is trying to get the paperwork to show that the aircraft hire and the pilot hire were independent. Which they weren't. You, in effect, were offering both services to your clients.
And what was it the man from the DGAC said?

So, who's idea were the flights? Your's or your client's?
If I was you, I would probably be starting to get worried if anybody from the South of France AOC community or the DGAC enforcement department (if such a thing exists) reads these forums. I can't believe that there are that many English CPL/IRs with connections to the yachting industry hiring light twins on an ad-hoc basis in that area. Like FW said, reputation can be everything in this industry.
