I had never flown into Sky Harbor (usually going to Scottsdale). My conference was only 4 miles from Sky Harbor so I thought I'd take a chance on the "Big Airport" hassles and higher costs. Although the fuel is more expense than most Phoenix area airports, it's still less than Scottsdale. I used Cutter's courtesy shuttle to and from my hotel and saved on renting a car. Everyone at Cutter was fantastically nice and helpful. The controllers were also friendly and helpful. A final note. When I got home I realized I had been charged a $75/day ramp fee (with the first day waived). I called them today and they immediately recognized the mistake (I have a Mirage and they charged me the Meridian rate). They refunded the difference to my credit card. First class service all around. I'll certainly use Cutter the next time I'm in Phoenix.

Cutter at COS is the friendliest and most enthusiastic FBO on planet earth. It's impossible to make a request for anything because they offer up before you have a chance to ask. They jump as if to have been shot out of a cannon to serve the pilot and passengers. The bathroom is the spic and span; that means 'clean' for you younger aviators. The crew car was waiting. And the Airplane restaurant is just a few blocks away. And COS is easy in and easy out.

Cutter in ABQ is a real class act. I recently flew my Piper Archer into ABQ for a fuel stop along my planned route but ended up spending the night due to bad wx. Cutter literally rolled out the red carpet for us. I was treated like I taxied onto the ramp in a Gulfstream. They gave us rides to a restaurant and hotel and had the plane ready and fueled for our morning departure as well as cleaned our dirty windshield without asking. A special word to Ben, Seth and Chelsea on the line for going WAY above and beyond to serve us.

I wanted to write you and tell you thank you. My father and I flew down to Albuquerque yesterday in a red and white Cessna 182. Your staff treated us like we were flying something much larger and more expensive. We didn't need much fuel, but they still treated us very well. A friend of mine said you can always tell the character of an FBO by how they treat the little guys. By that definition, your team showed amazing character. From the line staff literally rolling out the red carpet when we landed to the front desk staff recommending a very good local restaurant, your staff is top notch. Thank you so much for your hospitality, and I will definitely be back.
