The FAA does not "ignore" Angel Flight.

You posted some stuff regarding tax deduction and the FAAs decision
that that is not "compensation". However, the FAA chooses to ignore the
fact that Angel Flight would normally be considered part 135 because
there is no common purpose of flight. When I was serving as the area
Angel Flight check pilot instructor it was made clear to us that we
were on non-solid ground and unsafe flight could easily get the entire
organization shut down.

The FAA Order not only exempted Angel Flight pilots from FAR 61.118 (now
61.113), but also from FAR 135. This was not an issue when I received my
Angel Flight checkout and orientation.
