The more postings I read on this tone, the more I am convinced that one must choose rigidly between managed i.e. commercial airports, and non-commercial i.e. club fields aka airstrips by some.
If once you have choosen to be ripped off, don't come and whine. You can't blame a commercial operation for trying to be profitable.
The trouble is, certain amenities needed for certain sorts of flying are generally unavailable at non-commercial fields. If the problem is serious enough, that will naturally change.
