I've been to a lot of FBOs; Atlantic, Signature, and MillionAir, etc. So far, in my experiences, Cutter in Deer Valley has outclassed them all. The line crew to reception were super friendly and helpful. I flew a Cessna 182 in from Austin and you would have thought I just came in on a Global. They happily provided me transportation to/from the Drury Hotel, which, by the way, has a great rate for guests of Cutter. The fuel was super expensive but because of the service I received, I felt the cost didn't have a sting to it.

I was just a "transit" CFII working for Accelerated Flight and Instrument Training (www.AFIT.com) with a local pilot for a 10 day IFR course. I flew in with my Maule from SGU since it was a 2 hour flight or a 6 hour drive. So "corporate client" I wasn't, but it did not matter. Bought some fuel and the ramp fee was waived - FOR 10 DAYS!

Well, thanks - just a working guy who totally enjoyed the no hassle professionalism afforded me and my client.

Today, I received a thank-you card. How nice. A BIG CHANGE from my local FBO at SGU who threw me out of his building because I wasn't a staff instructor. EXCUSE me, that's how it works out there - planes/pilots/students/instructors travel to different venues.

So no improvement required! I'll be back to CUTTER next time my business brings me to DVT.

We were diverted to KCOS due to weather and, having never been to KCOS before, were given the choice of two FBOs. Luckily, I selected Cutter. We received the best service I've experienced at an FBO from Jerry and Rita at Cutter. They negotiated a great rate for us at a local hotel, parked our 172 for us, and drove us to the hotel. The next morning Cutter was very helpful in getting us on our way. A great staff! (Not to mention the best coffee and brownies).

We got up early this morning to beat the convective development, and wanted a quick turn to make the most of the morning hours. Cutter delivered: the line guy was out with wands before we got there, and gave my mom a lift to the facility in the golf cart; the fuel lady topped us off promptly, and the rest of the staff were courteous and attentive. The airport itself is very busy with flight training activity; we burned a few minutes just waiting to cross the south runway. But the ATCT folks were patient and friendly, too.
