Well now, as a ATPL having done AOC work and dutifully completed my OPC's and LPC's I can tell you that it did not change me at all. Any ATPL with a decent type rating could do it, and they do. So you must be talking about all the recurrent training for prohibited articles, fire fighting, first aid, etc etc that has me fighting to stay awake. As for "Why should the corporate client have to accept a lesser level of safety?" they don't do they, they can have even more than you provide if they wish, and some do, like my boss of a few years ago, its only money isn't it. And if the present rules were relaxed for AOC operators in some way, how many AOC operators would say "oh no, we are going to stick with the previous regs as it safer, we don't care about the money" Yeah right. AOC's operate according to the law and as long as everybody else you have nothing to complain about. If Joe Baggsofmoney wants to lease himself a Jet I will be happy to fly it for him.
