The service at Signature has always been quite cordial, However I have always been charged a substantial "handling fee" even when I have done nothing other that a quick turn around to pick up passengers. It's extremely irksome to have folks feel that they can charge you for occupying a few yards of asphalt for a few minutes at a public airport for "services" that one has neither requested nor needed.

I have over-nighted my plane at Signature three times now in the last year, with the latest on 4-23-11. Both the outside line people, and the inside staff have been excellent to work with on every occasion. I have always topped off with fuel, and no one has ever mentioned any sort of other fee. I cannot say enough about the great people of Signature! Highly recommended

However the people were very friendly and helpful and I have landed there once before when I was a student pilot and received no charges or ramp fees.

I will have to pull out my receipt book but I remember landing there with 3 passengers last month. We ate supper, purchased 100LL, filled the crew car and they still socked me with a aircraft handling fee that made me lose my breath. I have to fly my stepmother up there for cancer treatment once a month but now I am looking at Dodge Center for the overnight stay when those trips start.

I frequently fly in/out of RST with Angel Flight or AirLifeLine Pilots, and use Signature Flight Services. I also fly there periodically for instrument proficiency training. Whether I buy fuel or now, the inside staff and line crew have been nothing but helpful, professional, and courteous. On occasion I have used their crew car to pick up a bite to eat. There is never a suggestion of a charge, always courteous and helpful. The also offer free fax service to transmit patient agreements to Angel Flight or AirLifeLine - and appear truly appreciative of my providing this service to patients. I cannot say enough good about these folks! I am disappointed to read some of the other postings, and would encourage those who have concerns to talk to Signature's management to resolve the issues.
