Hey folks

I have a long history of signing up FBOs/Handlers for my past company, I had a very large global network. A heck allot of vetting and auditing took place.

Yes I agree location by location differs in cost and service delivery standards,
the largest purchasers of the services have the clout to verify reasonable costs etc.

Where there is a monopoly (normally by state or local airport edict), search for an alternative location. It takes time and research by either you as crew, or by your Flt Dept personnel.

All comments should be funneled back to a central person and acted upon.

It takes so little time to make an impact about over charging, slip shod service etc., if the industry media, and associations are involved. EBAA Airports and Handling Committee either direct or via BBGA in the UK, or NBAA Inl't Operators Committee or Schedulers & Dispatchers Committee, and of course your own national association if you have one.

Also folks, do throw your comments via the AIN & EBAN surveys.

Things sometimes seem "I'm getting shafted again" but if you don't make the effort to try and change, who the **** is gonna ?

Good luck chaps & ladies

PM if you want any further background, and no I'm not a provider
