So the threat would not worry me.
You're avoiding the question.
He asked "What if?". How would you feel if, after setting up and managing your company, a moped owner with a fetish for flies in the teeth and a sore arse turned up with an A-Z road atlas? One who couldn't be bothered to invest the time and money, didn't have the nous to learn the roads or was too dumb to acquire a full bike licence. What if he started taking money from you as an unregulated operator?
Anyone who wants to fly parcels around is free to do so. Just get a CPL (minimum), an AOC, decent aircraft and they're set. Until then best leave it to those who do it properly.
As a mod I don't usually take a side but in this case, as a
professional pilot, I feel obliged to.
