That's an interesting viewpoint. The Mode S issue is being fought on the basis of 'beneficiary pays'
And knowing someone who runs an airfield, they do take the view that everything needs to be accounted for, as does anyone trying to run a business. Like all businesses, the choices they make are down to them, and, yes, some are money-grabbers.
But if they don't cover their costs, and make enough profit to make it worthwhile, we won't have the facilities we need. Forums like this are helpful in pointing out those places where we are being taken to the cleaners and those who are good value.
Obviously, we'll all go to the good value ones, won't we?
