Sorry Rowdy, but that's an oxymoron. The company that sells the franchise makes the money. Ask M&M or other franchisees,

If I lose my medical, I'm going to become an "aviation consultant". I'll work for big companies recommending weird stipulations to put in contracts with air services, like really restrictive duty time and pilot experience requirements. I'll go and "inspect" runways and helipads and recommend bizarre "safety" enhancements like guard rails and traffic lights, and radio operators who think they are ATC. I'll recommend things like any aircraft carrying top management must have three co-pilots and extra wings. They'll pay me big bucks to come up with this shit. Maybe I'll branch out into regular "safety" and make even more money by recommending orange shoes for all flight attendants and mesh "anti-poking" eyeball covers for engineers. I'll recommend "crawlways" be painted on hangar floors so that employees can keep four points of contact with the ground at all times, and special brackets that can be attached to employees' heads to make sure they can't fall over and always look where they are going.
I was cleaning the house today and all of the damn spray bottles, once you get near the bottom of the bottle, don't spray on an angle. What the hell!? Put a little collar weight on the end of the pickup so it moves with gravity as you rotate the bottle, kind of like the flop tube in the Pitts fuel tank!
I still hold a commercial licence, but I gave up the flying. Unemployment every fall was stressing me out and causing low "bank account pressure". I'm working as a consultant in a CBM development project now. I did this because I didn't think a pot-bellied porn star would be in big demand. It was my first choice though. Now I work 6 months of the year (rotational), and vacation alot. It's nice. But don't give up if you are only on plan "B". I'm already on plan "X"
