At airports, pilots go through the same damned door that everyone else enters through.
Why should it be any different for corporate flying?

IF I have more than a few minutes between flights that is.

Many of these facilities have employee entrances that we are "encouraged" to use.

We are our own worst enemy, don’t know how to behave in public.
How many times have you seen a pilot asleep in an FBO all disheveled and feet on the table or couch?
If I am paying $15k-$20k for this flight I may not be interested in seeing that or sitting next to you. I may also not be interested in shaking your hand after I’ve seen you tuck in your shirt and give yer jewels a shake on the way by.
Raise your hand if you’ve ever seen a pilot raid the snack counter at an FBO....yeah thought so.
Yes I’m a pilot and yes I’ve flown 135 and I can tell you if I were an owner I’d be an absolute kampfkommandant.
Sorry about your feewings.
