Thanks Andrew. Already have spoken with John a couple of times. Last I heard the Chamber and AOPA were trying to convince the BAL Board among other things, of the financial shortsightedness of turning away previously loyal customers, no matter how small.
As a matter of interest, source 2001 BAL Annual report.
Total aero charges for aircraft < 2 tonnes, 12 mths to June 2001 ..... $200,000
Remuneration to 8 (now 4) directors for 8 meetings, same period ..... $306,000
This on a total revenue of $9.1 million.
Hotpete, RAJAM, Wheeler and anyone else currently unhappy about TOLL charges.

"Two choices: buy a bottle of Vaseline or move to another airport.
P.S. Good luck anyhow. I hope you do get some satisfaction!"
Sorry mate, even for those who don't move we're aviation types and would only ever use approved aero oil.
There is also a third choice. If you feel you have been treated unfairly by BAL, phone or write them saying so. Object to the unreasonable increase and ask for a reduction (or whatever). If they say take it or go, log onto the Fair Trading Site,
http://www.fairtrading.nsw.gov.au/co...complaint.html
and fill in the form. It only takes a few minutes.
Whilst the Airport Chamber of Commerce and AOPA continue with their campaign, we as individual BAL "customers" can also do something. What do you have to lose.
Respect the more experienced. They're the ones qualified to make brand new mistakes.
