We'll wind up being banned from major airports *and* have to pay user fees
on
top of that.

With the landing fees currently in effect at many large metro'
airports, GA is already effectively banned from their use.

Really? What's a "typical" landing fee at the airports you describe?

I haven't flown into the largest Class B airports in the US, but I've flown
into a couple of the smaller ones. Landing fees generally seem to run
around $50-100. Expensive, but not an insurmountable barrier. Someone in a
Cub would surely find that outrageous, but for those of us flying
high-performance aircraft long distances, an extra $50-100 isn't
intolerable, assuming there's a good reason to land at such an airport.

I understand your feelings about landing fees. It is a subjective
judgment after all.

Are there airports with GA landing fees significantly higher than that?

You'll find some information about landing fees at these links:
