Oh Great, you are telling the State Representative of the Libertarian Party about Supply and Demand...:)

Just like there are tax and spend Republicans and hawkish Democrats, we now know an anti-free market Libertarian!

The call a week before extolling the five dollar tie down price, failing to mention the $6.25 gas, and $500 shop entrance fee,

Did you ask about the fuel prices or did you ASSume that the fuel would be cheap? Also, did you ask about shop rates and maintenance policies? When a badly posed question gets an incomplete answer, the fault lies with the person asking the question.

lack of Crew Car, no shuttle, no cabs, $271 car rental, and no tie downs!

You are being extremely unreasonable to expect to get a crew car on what is most probably their busiest weekend of the year. Same goes for cabs. Cabs are not obliged to go to the airport or any other place for that matter. If the cabbies are making more money in another part of town due to the Derby, you are basically SOL. You should count yourself lucky that you were able to get a rental car at any price without a prior reservation. Have you tried getting a rental car or a hotel at the last minute at Airventure?

You are free to publicize your experiences with any business in any appropriate forum, this certainly being one of them. Just keep in mind that people judge you as well as the business you are writing about. Applying a bit of critical analysis to what you have written leaves one wondering about the rest of the story.
