Yes, it did happen and from my recollection I had most trouble with the VNY/BUR based companies brokering out the trips. I got the impression they would tell the client anything to sell the trip...and they did.
Heh heh heh... Ain't that the truth SJC. (I worked out of BUR and VNY) But that big broker from Boston that wanted you to pretend you worked for them (down to the napkins with their company logo!) was even more so. But they sold some good trips. Same with the big fractional from Columbus when we'd provide holiday supplemental lift for them. Good times from before the great recession...
