The concept and initiative of Angel Flight is brilliant and should be supported wholeheartedly - the woefully inadequate minimum experience requirements for the pilots needs to be addressed. These pilots are picking up "passengers" - not family members or friends...
Again, I'm not drawing conclusions in this case, as I know near FA about this incident, but these are my strong feelings regarding the Angel Flight operation.
"...not family members or friends..."
Yeah, ah suppose they come under the heading of life's 'baggage'.....
...with CASA though, far as i'm aware they only differentiate between fare paying pax and non-fare paying pax. With them AF pilots, Family, friends, and those in need who wants a lift somewhere all come under the heading of non-fare paying pax.
