Seems like Capts who have been in the business don’t have family or friends following up to continue the business. Again, I can be completely wrong, just an observation.

I think it's both... The regs certainly don't help and there's a lot of easier ways to make a living without the daily grind of having to get up at o dark thirty and getting your hands dirty these days. Not for me but I certainly respect and appreciate those who do. Sadly it seems like they're more people getting out of it then into it.
