Charter airlines publishing schedules

I know full ACMI charter airlines usually don't sell tickets to the general public, but they are incentivised to keep happy the travel agency who is paying for the use of the aircraft.

Are charter airlines typically paid a fee based on number of seats occupied ? (Excluding any Govt tax or airport fees)

If a travel agency is paying substantial cash to a charter airline for use of an aircraft over a month or longer, I'm puzzled as to why ACMI charter airlines are often very reluctant to say to potential pax, which travel agency is chartering their aircraft.

Most companies are happy to recommend one of their customers - eg a good butcher will happily suggest a restaurant that they supply as a place for a meal. It seems odd that a charter airline is reluctant to refer an enquiring potential passenger to the travel agency chartering their aircraft.
