I would send a letter stating that I am organizing a nationwide effort to connect travelers to qualified private pilots and fixed based operators (FBO) and revive entrepreneurship.
We will NOT be slaves to the whims of TSA. Or Obama.
Boost the economy, hire a private pilot.

“Boost the economy, hire a private pilot”

Actually, a “private” pilot is a license that does not let the pilot fly for hire. A commercial pilot rating (and higher) allows that.

I get your point and would do that route if it cost the same, if a little more, than airlines.
