And what the private equity companies have kind of realized is that they can't really adjust the fuel price so much because everybody knows what the fuel price should be based on oil prices.
But what they realize is that they have this monopoly on ramp space on the ground.
And their only way to really squeeze additional margin out of these businesses is to sneak in these event fees.

They could be in the 20s or 30s or $40,000 just for a short slot to drop off or pick up.
