Wrong. It's been going on since Pontius was a Pilot. It happens when a separate entity who should have its own AOC (and for whatever reason can't or won't get one) uses the facilities of another company, who must base & line check the former's pilot's to its standards. It should also do the billing to the customer, but it often doesn't happen. It's a very crude form of franchising.
For AOC purposes, I suppose everything is done "by the AOC Holder", but not necessarily otherwise.
