You guys forget.. the FBO already has the city managers and the lawyers
ear.. you are way behind the power curve in this. You need to organize into
a pilots committee and then address his issues rather than confront them and
it needed to be done months ago.

The FBO is a business owner and businesses pay taxes... the county or city
do not realize that your purchases from his business is what is paying the
taxes.

Welcome to "city life"

Boycott the FBO. Buy gas and get maintenance at another field.
Send him an anonymous letter that he's going to be boycotted if
the crap continues.

So you think a campaign of disrespectful intimidation will win the
day? Grow up!

What was suggested is in no way disrespectful or intimidating.

How does what was suggested by Mr. Winslow respect the concerns of the
FBO?

You have a lot to learn about human nature if you actually believe
that threatening the FBO is going to change his mind? It will only
escalate the negative feelings, and galvanize the FBO and others into
feeling justified in taking punitive action against "renegade" pilots.

Did the felling of the WTC towers and threats of future terrorism
cause the US to retreat? Think about it.

More on the order of civil disobedience which is a time honored,
centuries old way of getting a point across.

Without some history of _rational_, face-to-face discourse, the
disobedience you suggest is tantamount to terrorism.

Talk first. Listen to each side of the argument of each issue.
Suggest creative solutions based on mutual compromise. The side who
first resorts to emotional outbursts or forsakes rational thought
loses.
