It all comes about by a gutless and pissweak "Regulator" (for want of a better word) approving such operators into the country. No doubt they head down to the little man of the local flying school or charter company and bend them over the table and threaten a shutdown. But hey, don't touch the dangerous and undesirables in the airline game. It may appear to be "racist".
Tick tock, tick tock.
