(and I am very well aware of my own limited legal knowledge of aviation law)
I didn't pass judgement on your Av Law knowledge, I just read your post.
Companies should follow the law, totally agreed.
The scope of this operation is clear enough, and I included the legal definition of a schedule flight in a previous post which comes from the regs. The 2 charter companies only have non-scheduled licenses and thats common cause. But the question remain unanswered, how does a charter (by NAC/TAB) become a legal schedule flight by passing through a intermediary broker (Studio 88) who is not a licensee.
We have heard from Studio 88 and people close to it. The question is clear enough, how hard can it be to answer?
