Let the gouging begin...

CATSA screening at Abbotsford is temporarily located in an FBO that is charging $150 per aircraft for the "service".

The YVR Millionair rate is $500 plus the usual ramp and service fees

Hey,

It's the real Olympic spirit shining on through... $, $, and more $.

[PC12's are better]

the levels of gouging are getting rediculous.

Calgary Esso is quoted both at $450 and $700 for transient customers on top of the standard ramp fee just to complete CATSA screening. they advise it was due to the cost of all the extra staff and such. lets see, there is a CATSA screening bus on the ramp. Thats it. but the bus is plugged into the side of the building for power so that justifies it, I guess. if no screening required then there will be no charge other than small ramp fee. These FBO's should consider themselves lucky that they are receiving the extra business at all. I thought that the airport was designated as the portal not the FBO
BTW
The Peidmont Shell on the other side of 16 costs $300. WTF.

YPK free
YNJ free
ZBB free
YZT free
YYJ ?
YLW ?
YXX $150

If anyone is able to add to this list or add some insight it would be appreciated.

I have tons of horror stories already.


I've heard the security " professionals" are being paid 110/hr during the games.

[Team Firecracker]

At the YYJ Esso we're charging our regular rates. Not sure what Shell's charging.

Here in Sudbury it costs me about $80 to get a girl outside the Ledo Hotel to give me a cavity search depending on the day and availability, so $150 seems a tad high.

I guess that's a Fogducker argument for CATSA to decertify the union, eh?

Thats BS. Is the FBO paying the CATSA employees? Somehow I doubt it.

[CBSW]

Nope,

Not bs... Its paid by the government. The whole entire olympic period is overtime.

[Highflyinpilot]

You are getting gouged ISTP, outside the ledo you should be able to hammer out a deal for about 50$

[The Mole]

Tax payers are picking up the bill for CATSA, B*ll Sh*t.

Its been erie quiet flying around yvr.
