Vancouver, Maldives, Bali, Caribean. All successful airtaxi operations using larger seaplanes. Not heard of these business men, but figure they will need the experience of Kenn Borek Air of Canada or Seaborne Av of the States, or the like at least initially. And seaplane VFR will be the only way to deal with the crap wx. The challenge with that is the sea traffic, and the noise factor. I think the concept will work, if they allow the experienced operators to offer direction. Dealt with a start up in Shandong. Caravans, and high time IFR drivers from Jets and Saabs. Ended in a train wreck. Because the experience end was not with water drivers. There are very experienced Twin Otter Float drivers out there, but seldom do ill advised start up's want to pay the money to do it right the first time. I wish them well, and would certainly put up my hand if offered.
With Global Warming and more ocean on the way, I figure the wages can only go up for a "Professional Ditcher!!"
