Her excuse that she is busy is total bullshit. The issue is NOT the inability to schedule with her. The issue is that she DOES schedule, THEN she flakes out.
Do you really think I'd make an issue out of this if she were just hard to reach?

The general way to handle this is to post a NCNS thread, and move on. Organizing a boycott, sending letters to your Congressman, and filing a complaint with the BBB is not worth it.
You had a problem. You told the ECCIE world about it. This is good, very good. A lot of people have been alerted to an issue. Some will avoid this lady because they agree with you 100%, some will avoid her just cuz it appears she is too hard to schedule with.
Others will flock to her because you have provided all of this advertisement for her, and further, it is now reported that she is low volume. So, if a guy sees her, he is special. He can thump his chest and stick his tongue out at you and proclaim he is the better man.
Meanwhile, the rest of the ladies have seen this thread by you. It has stayed on the top of the heap for a bit of time. Sure, your regulars probably know you are a great guy and they will still see you. Some of the gals who are desperate will be very happy to schedule with you. But ladies who are not so desperate, well, they are going to think long and hard about it. If something happens, if they have to cancel, will you start a tirade against them? It is just easier to add you to a DNS list they keep for creating drama, and look for other guys to fill up their scorecard.
I know a bunch of guys will feed me a line of crap for saying it, but it is was it is. The guys may have the money, but the top ladies are just sitting out there reading this thread, taking notes. They can be picky and choosy on who they see. And it is not to spite you or anyone. It is not a conspiracy, it is not the providers banding together to punish you for insulting one of their own. It is just each gal looking out for herself the best way they can.
