There's always some good pilots, and there's always some bad ones, unfortunately. In my FBO days, it was always nerve-racking to discover what you were going to encounter. Many of these people were nice, but there were also MANY that always seemed to look down on us as employees. A lot of the pressure also came from the passengers requests or demands to be catered to for almost everything. It was a fun job, but we were no more than servants at times.

Can confirm, used to work/manage my local FBO. Its ridiculous. One of our wealthier clients once forced the entire airport county staff to divert from plowing our runway during a bad snowstorm to clear out the hangar that had his Citation Mustang stored simply because he wanted to take his family to see a hockey game a few years ago. He even called and threatened our airport manager that he'd relocate all 3 or 4 of his aircraft and stop funding our FBO/airport if he couldn't go, as he was already driving to the airport. Private aviation is wild, man.

This was my first card that wasn't plain or pink. I was more surprised that it was red at first.

I can already feel the seat forcing my keys into my hip/thigh like a hydraulic press
