Nice, Gary. I've been ticked off at [censored] Aviation for some time. Did I go out and call the FAA? Nope. Did I piss and moan and act like a child when my starter gears screwed up in North Florida at 8pm one night? I called them and asked the mechanics that were still there to come hop in a 172 and fix her, and when they refused, unpolitely, I told them they could go focus on the baron or navajo they were tinkering on, and that they wouldn't have to worry about me anymore. That's that. No letters, no bitching at the FAA. I just went to a mechanic I could trust and with a slightly different attitude.
