No ding duck, I have not got a GA operation… I do have one foot only in the aviation world on a professional basis though. I would like to have two, but I want to be in it to have fun, not stress.
From what you are saying, seems like you have a solid, reputable business. I hope it grows, but it will only grow if more people fly, right? Do you only fly scenics? or perhaps majority income? Then you are a rare operator indeed and I can see why you might worry. Although you were better than the other guy who did have an AOC, right? And you probably picked up all the business he built up and consequently lost, right?
The more aviating gets done the better. Just my humble opinion.
