In the "Some folks are never satisfied" department...

I was speaking with an FBO owner today about the trials and
tribulations of customer service. We commiserated over how you just
can't win, sometimes. He told me that he tries to keep his rental
fleet pristine, but has seen some pretty funny "squawks" on the
clipboard over the years.

The best one (I thought) was a note that said "Tires too firm"....
(I'm gonna use that excuse next time I bounce one...)

Of course, in the "believe it or not" category, I actually received a
comment card today from a guest who stated that their "Suite was too
quiet" -- thus proving that you really CAN'T please everyone!

Is the comment card anonymous or can you call and ask them how much
noise they would have preferred? :-)

Maybe they were expecting that you'd have the sound of the aircraft of
that particular suite doing a fly-by piped in ... that would be a great
way to do your complimentary wake-up calls (ha).

Maybe it was a subtle hint that the TV doesn't work. ;-)

That's a fantastic idea. Rocket launch in the space suite.

I find the Deb does much better with the tires at the rated pressure.

People go to the ocean for peace and quiet. That damn surf was so
noisy it took me three nights to get used to it enough to be able to
get a restful night. OTOH I doubt you have much problems with the
surf in IOWA. :-))

Because I fly, I envy no one.

Hey, if I stay at a motel near an airport I want to hear airplanes.

In the UFAF, the F-105 would pitchout right over my barrack at 0200 hr. When I
moved to Oklahoma City, I lived three miles from Tinker AFB engine runup stands.
At that time we were fixing B-52, so the engines were B-52 engines. Then when I
got marries I moved in with my wife. Her house was under the finial approach to
30 TIK, the KC-135's (707) favorite runway. You do remember the scream of a
KC-135. When I got a job a the FAA, we moved to be closer to my work. You guest
it our house in under the downwind leg 17L/35R of OKC.

It's odd I don't hear many airplanes anymore. Very seldom do I hear a carrier,
one in a great while do I hear a biz-airplane. I can't count on the OKANG any
more either. A few mouths ago I heard this loud noise outside and went out to
see what was going on. It was a flight of four C-130 in formation (diamond as I
remember) at low altitude (4,000 or 5,000) going NNE. I read in the paper that
it was the last time all eight C-130's would fly in formation. The ANG is losing
all of their C-130's. I must have hear the first flight go over and got out in
time to se the last flight going away. It's sad.

When I come to stay at your place, since you don't have elevators, can I have
the room next to the ice maker?
