An FBO that understands an aircraft needs to be serviceable to fly!
I've had to sit in many crewrooms using free internet, drinking very nice coffee etc. etc. but no agent available to escort me to the aircraft or stay with me if security says I cannot be airside alone, as I'm not crew.
If engineers had blazers and gold bars they would get airside much quicker and aircraft would spend less time on the ground. I've sat waiting when the girls are sorting fuel, catering, weather etc. and the aircraft is going nowhere until it's fixed. This may of course be deliberate as the jet is clocking up ramp time at £$£/hour.
