So...if I started up a dummy corporation "Minitour Enterprises, Inc" and that dummy corp owned "Minitour's Aircraft Rental, Inc." and also owned "Minitour's Pilot Services, LLC" and the student paid two different invoices per lesson (One to Minitour's Aircraft Rental, Inc and a separate invoice for Minitour's Pilot Services, LLC) I wouldn't have to get 100 hour inspections on any of "Minitour's Aircraft Rental, Inc."'s planes? Assuming the aircraft rental company only rented aircraft and the pilot services company only provided pilot services/flight instruction...

Again, the duck question. It seems like to me, you are still providing both the instructor and airplane. You set up the instructor and the airplane. That said, your more than able to give it a try, and let us know what happens, should the FAA show up.

Uh huh....

So what if "Minitour's friend's pilot services" came in to the same building as "Minitour's aircraft rental" and someone wanted to take a trip from A to B...but they don't know how to fly.

If "Minitour's aircraft rental" said "you have to use one of 'Minitour's friend's pilot services' pilots since they're on the insurance"...what's the dealio then?

Sounds like your running a 135 operation at this point.

But the customer is providing their own pilot...

Sorry, I misread, and will try to answer again.

You straight up rent the plane to John Q Public, who has no ratings. He finds a pilot to fly. Sounds like that's legit, and is going to take 100 hour inspections.

This sounds 135, all the way.
 
Reminds me of the inspector that told me I was in blatant violation of FARs as an instructor with a medical certificate that I'd had for about 30 calendar months. Sometimes these guys do not know their own regulations.
