I wouldn't be so much in agreement if I were you. Ever hear of an outfit the FAA calls the "Charter Quest Team"? It's a little group the FAA has put together to blast the livelihood from under part 135 operators on the basis of murky interpretations of "operational control". They don't talk to the FSDO's that have authority over the operators, the FAA won't tell you who they are or where they work out of, and if you ask them what rules the team is working under, the request is refused and you are pointed to FOIA procedures. These are people who have already been at work destroying companies who have done nothing wrong other than try to live to up to the spirit of regulations and "do the right thing." You think luck is involved in any way in this? Even the NTSB has blasted this hit man team the FAA has put together. You had better hope your luck holds out if you run into them. -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com |

Of course. NTSB dockets SE-17831 and SE-17832 from Administrative Law Judge
William R. Mullins. The final decision on appeal should have been issued already, but the Oral Decision and Order issues October 17, 2006 speaks for itself. "A couple other comments on the Charter Quest Team, Mr. Riley talked about the fact that they have their own rules. They don't have to follow that handbook on operational control and I certainly believe him but that in and of itself is kind of a scary approach in my opinion. We have a federal government agency that's trying to regulate in an area and their regulatory team doesn't even have rules that are published so that somebody can see what they are coming out to look at or how they are going to go about it. And then, Mr. Weitzenhoffer suggested to counsel that if he wanted this secret document, he could issue FOIA request for it. The concern that I have is that if a document is only to be obtained by a FOIA request, either by an airman, a certificate holder, or the National Transportation Safety Board, then it's not entitled to any deference by the National Transportation Safety Board." Pretty strong words from an NTSB judge, if I may say so. I tried to get the FAA to give me more info on this. They went so far as to acknowledge the team's existence, and that's it. No names, no location, no rules or authority except by FOIA request. In the meanwhile, in this example over 100 people had to be laid off, just a couple months before Xmas, and the consequences are all piling up. I called AOPA and no one knew about the "team". Neither does NBAA, or anyone else I talked to. And yet, they have authority to issue emergency orders of revocations of certificates. "Brad" wrote in message oups.com... Interesting.
