(2.) First, the pricing. Let's just state their charges seem to be figured using a very unique method: take the current rate, multiply by your grandma's age, add a "because we can" extra fee, and then round up to the nearest small plane. For a fast turn, it seemed like I was financing someone's next family trip instead of getting necessary upkeep.

(5.) Bottom line: Safford has choices. Select carefully. Ponderosa might have the big sign, but White Brothers has the real service. Safe skies, everyone.

(3.) Speaking of family… the degree of nepotism here is almost striking in its openness. It is like they held a family reunion and decided to make it a business plan. Capability, however, appears to have been omitted from the guest list. Simple inquiries were met with bewilderment, slowdowns, and that special "we'll get to it when we feel like it" attitude. Maintenance queries? Replied to with shrugs and unclear assurances. It is evident the operation functions on history rather than ability or client attention.
