Last fall, I took my student into CMH for Class C experience (arr and dep from start-up), so we parked at Lane. After a few min of debrief, we told the front desk we wanted to leave. She said "not until you pay $20". I explained what we were doing & no consideration was given. She was rude & didn't even smile & greet us. She told us they had no choice. Little to her knowledge, I have worked in aviation over 20 years & knew that was BS. Once paid, the guy manning the door who saw us come in asked for our IDs to go out. Well, had I known, I would have brought in my wallet. He proceeded to lecture us before granting us access to our Cessna 172. Last time I'll ever go here, even professionally in my other job. Guess I should have been in my Citation X or Gulfstream to get treated with respect, although I got the impression only $ talks here. It wasn't the $20 that upset me. I'd spend $50 or whatever. It was the poor customer service and disrespect we were shown. Spread the word. read more
