I got a phone call today from a collection agency - for the first time

This story has left me utterly bewildered. Naturally, an FBO should
not pay renter pilots' landing fees. There is no disagreement
there. But how Brampton chose to go about collecting this fee
was... erm... surprising.

Well, if you're not local (and I'm assuming you're not) a flying club
doesn't have the resources to go looking for you. Our flying club hasn't
turned over any outstanding debts to collections in my tenure, and instead
we've wasted HOURS of volunteer time tracking down people who've moved. I
think next time we're going to try the collection agency.
