Is there an assumption that existing Brokers are not creating / cashing in on / chasing new markets - how many times a month do we fly passengers on their first flight only to see them regularly thereafter?

Proceding outbound - People have tried with the website / smartphone app. The problem there is that (apart from Blink) the operators don't want it, and the brokers don't want it. Without the support of one, if not both, it won't work. Privatefly are giving it a bloody good go, and whilst their business is greatly appreciated, the level of enquiries is still really quite low, and the fix rates lower.

Guys, we work in a highly skilled Industry - I wouldn't try and run a company in an industry that I had no experience in, we are not in the asset management business, we are in the compliance / customer service / asset management and logistics business - and you can't learn that lot at harvard!
