As someone who is looking for a charter license, I can honestly say... I am with CFM on this. It is all about the money- a monopoly if you will. "Good ol' Boy Networking."

True, I am looking at making a little cash, but enough to supplement my monthly retainer check.

Of the two opportunites I had, they have both wanted a ridiculous amount of money for the license (and that's without the boat!). I figured it out... I would have been in the red for years to come! This wasn't a fair market price in my book!
