Ok, so assume a pilot has their commercial cert, 2nd Class medical, etc.
If the pilot says to pax (or a company) "ok, here cut a check to this FBO for the plane rental" (where the pilot usually rents from) and the pilot flies the passengers to their destination and back - is this considered part 91 because the passengers are "providing" the aircraft, or is it 135 because he pilot has somewhat "arranged" things?
I've also heard of folks who have, for example, a King Air, let people rent it then give them a list of possible "suggested" pilots that the customer can contact and make separate arrangements for pilot services. All this is done under part 91.
This seems to be walking the fine line of 135 ops. Are arrangements like this legal?
(Not "can you get away with it" but is it legal if ramp checked or investigated?)
