The craziest thing I tend to see are the people who get off of massive aircraft, all alone except the crew.

Saw what couldn't have been older than a 23 year old kid get off of a Gulfstream 550 the other day. Pretty nuts. Never seen anything too crazy from what I can immediately think of right now. I'll make another post if anything else comes to mind.

Edit: guy a few months ago tore a huge whole in the side of the hangar with the wing of a jet while he was towing it. Took a big clip out of the wing, combined it was at least a few tens of thousands of dollars of damage. That was an employee of course.

Actually the majority of people are fine. It's a little different than say, being a cashier because there's this sort of filter on the people you meet in that almost everyone is very successful. Passengers who are rude usually only are in the sense that they are kind of dismissive, like they ignore you.

Nice people tip nicely. And acknowledge you. Say hi or something. As in treat you like you exist.

On the other hand, the people we mainly deal with are the crews (pilots and on occasion, flight attendants). They're more used to dealing with FBOs and are often under pressure from their companies so it gets passed down to us. Or they're just assholes, haha. One guy is extremely particular about how his aircraft is treated, where he parks, what kind of rental car he wants, etc. Just overall very tiring.

I figured, just not exactly sure why you decided I was mysogonyst.

Huh

A professional hockey player. Or one of the Koch brothers. A fortune 50 CEO.
