Seriously, if it's truly "unsafe" to operate Part 91 without paying passengers (as the do other 135 operations), why do they let a certificate holder/pilot plan to operate under Part 135 with paying passengers beyond the 14 hrs on subsequent legs if the aircraft is already on the ground and you have two more legs to fly just because a TRW held you up for an hour or so? If it's so unsafe for an Part 91 operation without the paying public/medcrews, as being claimed here, surely it's an "end this flight assignment here at this intermediate stop" moment for the 135 operation with paying public/medcrews aboard
