Well Sunfish label me a pompous arse, but I have to agree with Havick.

When people board these flights they have no idea what rules and regulations surround these operations. I agree that this is indeed a very noble idea but what are the checks and balances involved. What is their interview process and background checks? What is their Check and Training system? How do they know if someone is current? I've seen some pretty ordinary stuff from some of these operations labelled as Angel Flight in the past and have only thought it would be a matter of time before an accident happened.

I'm absolutely certain that all of you, if faced with putting a loved one in a RFDS B200 or an Angelflight Cessna 172 for a flight to wherever, you would all go for the B200 as you are all well aware of the differences between the two operations.
