I'd agree with you about airport operators having to cover their costs - if people want to fly into a well equipped airfield they should expect to pay a share of the operating cost. Arguably, you in your puddlejumper should pay more than an airliner using the airways or approach aids, as your (probably) low speed means you're clogging the system up for all those others wanting to go faster than you, and using the aforementioned facilities for twice as long as everyone else.......
And as for the talk of fragile egos - with all your stinking chat then you should most definately not be stone throwing in your glass-house!
