Seems to me that Adagold and other brokers are fulfilling a need. They tend to get the work because they LOOK for the work and are experienced at managing the work. What could be simpler?
Greedy brokers?!?!?........ Can think of a lot of greedy grubby operators as well!!!
For the record, we don't have any association with them, and don't do any work for them....don't really want to or need to to.
Having said that, we do a fair bit of work through other brokers and they plug gaps in our marketing program. Not all bad I would think. I think the regulation is aimed aimed squarely at the naughty boys who advertise and fly their own aircraft without an AOC.
There's a ******** out at Forbes and another in a single turbo prop in the Hunter doing exactly that!! Frightening really.
Grab the money boys and girls...if Adagold and the other brokers are handing out cash...don't see the problem with that!!!
