Argument against high gas prices

So basically you're suggesting that FBO owners aren't people. Interesting
forum to make such an observation.

Sorry, it wasn't intended that way.

*nod* Thanks for the clarification.

There are exceptions, but most of the people that I've met that run small
FBOs do it for the love of aviation, not because they make a good living
at it.

I'm not sure how that gene works. The really fancy FBO across the airport
with the newer, larger fleet -seems- to be getting its ass kicked by the FBO
I fly out of, which has an older fleet that doesn't bear the company name or
anything. The FBO I use has been there a long time, acquiring better
airport location, more aircraft, a new $250,000 TruFlight sim and...
hmmm... the fuel operation for the airport.

I honesty think if I won the lottery, I'd buy/start an FBO. But I'd only
be able to keep it until the money ran out. ;^)

A commuter airline just started down in Salem. Hasn't been commuter service
there for many years. Best of luck to 'em, but I don't see they're gonna
make it.
