Raf, I worked for an Air-Taxi in Alaska that would be called names in the media every other month. We called it free advertising ? . This bashing from the competitors disguised as a news story is just how competition works sometimes. We where called ‘illegal’, ‘shady’, ‘dangerous’, ‘outlaws’ and any other negative that they could come up with. “Grey” wouldn’t have even been noticed.

The Air-Taxi I was with focused on “Passenger Service” instead of shiny paint and interiors. We accommodated any and all animals, greasy parts, smelly fish boxes, game meat and any other odd item we could strap down in the aircraft. Carpet and side panels were replaced with more durable but less attractive materials. The paint on the aircraft would be close enough to represent the companies’ colors. The company was so busy that it charged 15% more on many routes. The passengers didn’t complain because we would ensure they had ground transportation to and from their flight. No worry about missing their flight.

If Exquisite Air Charter would put just a little more effort into ‘accommodating’ their customers instead of ‘demanding’ them to meet Exquisite Air Charter’s ‘High Standards’ they wouldn’t be writing this hit piece against their competitors. We all have to operate with the same FAA Regulations. Obviously, they have already called and reported their competitor many times and the FAA couldn’t find a violation.

P.S. The company charged more so it could pay ‘all’ the employees more also… ?
