If you don't want to pay these fees you can limit your flying to fields
without FBOs.


???

You don't find charging $15 to park a Spam Can for 90 minutes to be
excessive?

I don't know where you fly, but here in the Midwest that FBO would be
ostracized out of existence.

I understand free market competition and that FBOs need revenue. Don't want
to pay fees for parking? Don't go to airports that charge them.

There's no free market out here in California, and I suspect the same
in Boston. It takes a blessing from the county/city to approve miles of
permits. The county councils interview applicants and approve their
favorite.

There are many in government that do not understand the value of free
markets. That's true nationwide.

Free market competition on a municipally owned airport?

What school of economic theory is that from?

Okay, you've never studied economics, but this isn't a proper forum for me
to teach it to you.

Ease up on the sarcasm. You failed to understand a simple analogy above.

Actually, it was you and Mr. Barrow that failed to understand that tipping
for a service is not analogous to being charged for a service.

And his understanding of economic, particularly market economics is abysmal.

As usual, he demonstrates little knowledge outside ATC rules and comes
across as a pompous and ignorant fool with his foot stuck in his mouth up to
the knee.

Wrong on all counts. You are consistent, I'll give you that.
