Then how do you interpret this from a letter of interp:
=============<snip>=============
However, the transportation of those youths going to and from the City of Oakland, pursuant to a contract of carriage based on a flat reimbursement fee based on the number of youths carried, is a specialized form of private carriage for compensation or hire as a commercial operator (not an air carrier).
Assuming that the airplane fits the definitions set forth at FAR 135.1(a)(3), we conclude that a Part 135 operating certificate is required for these flight operations.

BTW, Part 135.1(a)(3) originally read
The carrying in air commerce by any person, other than as an air carrier, of persons or property for compensation or hire (commercial operations) in aircraft having a maximum passenger seating configuration, excluding any pilot seat, of 30 seats or less and a maximum payload capacity of 7,500 pounds or less;
The interp is dated May 22, 1984, addressed to Mr. William M. Dickerson, Re: VisionQuest.
