Peter,
You shared on behalf of a charter last year, how would you get it filled up?
How could the rest of us share the same charter?
Or would the folks on the east coast share one, and then the folks on 
the west coast share another?
The cost would be great to go to all of the air ports unless you knew 
folks were going to the convention.
Montana is with distance, for this, not everyone lives in Billings.
Just some thoughts.
