Is that customer service sucks. It is that simple. I can't tell you how many phone calls I have made that have gone unanswered and unreturned. I am trying to spend money and people don't want to be spending time with you. I have had this problem with aircraft painting companies, FBO's, repair shops, part supply houses, local airport operators, etc. I will admit that I only have a C-152, but I also fly charter in a citation and the problems are still there only they cost a lot more. I don't even need to apply any of this to airlines, which I think everybody knows. Just venting, because no one wants to call me back with tie down availablity or cost and I want to spend money. The examples are so numerous, I just am frustrated because now I am wasting my time.
