Why would the agent - which doesn't issue the actual insurance, as I
understand that business - ever turn away business if someone to write the
policy can be found? Something sounds off, here, as if we (outside the
insurance business {8^) are missing a part of the puzzle.

Avemco writes its own policies. In addition, AOPA is essentially a broker that deals with only one
company; I think EAA also works that way. So the guy contacts one of these three for his first
quote. For his second quote, he either deals with another of these three or contacts a real broker
(who then calls every other company).
