Unfortunately, it's this generation government management ego. The head of your local DMV, a general in the Army, but fortunately it seems to be only in the civil service type jobs. What you have to do is "make no waves" or "pay off," and you can get around most of it. (Or in the military, just die for your country.)

All commercial services were suspended on January 9, 2006. Pace Airlines is continuing with charter services.[1] On April 17, 2006, Hooters Air ceased all operations, halting all scheduled Public Charter service and refunding tickets. The company attributed this cessation of service primarily to a marked increase in fuel costs in the wake of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita in the autumn of 2005.
