Augustus Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 A recent Have your Say Assessment by employees across the IOM Govt delivered some interesting results with the subject being Leadership. I am told the airport division of DOI had the lowest, most dismal results by a country mile. In plain English, they think their managers are shit and don't give a shit about them. No wonder the place is a shambles. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A honesty box at a National airport !?? . Your having a laugh right ? It’s unfortunate that it’s been out of action for so long but why not? It’s not a laugh. The principle is just the same. The lost revenue has to be recovered somehow You know you have to pay for your parking. Well I don’t know about you but I’m an honest person. I would have put some money in If Shoprite tills were down due to some technical malfunction would you be OK just walking out with your shopping without paying?

I'm very honest too but not sure not bailing out government infrastructure would be dishonest. As I said , why not as a alternative idea , just fix it or replace it. The Airport actually tells you just to park and ignore payment rules. Surprisingly noting your Voice of Reason name it seems in this case you've lost that honour . Maybe you've turned over to the darkside ! . And as for the Shoprite analogy , thats nonsense , apples and pears .

TheTeapot Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 They stopped charging for parking cos of covid, and have left it like that because while you can now go into the airport and wait they'd prefer you to stay in your car, but can't charge you to do that.

And as for the Shoprite analogy , thats nonsense , apples and pears . You’re not bailing out government infrastructure, just paying unto Caesar what is due to Caesar as Jesus instructed. The parking fees lost ( thousands of pounds I would imagine) would maybe help in some small way in alleviating the poverty issue discussed in another thread. I think the Shoprite anology is perfectly valid, In both cases you are getting something you should pay for for nothing and someone, be it the Government or Shoprite are losing out. How is that nonsense.? I’d like to hear your explanation. My user name remains unblemished. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The airport car park belongs to the Manx nation who DOI have decreed they will charge to park on it. If they cant be arsed to fix the barriers then thats down to them. Ohhh in my view its so not unblemished now ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IOM Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 On 12/31/2021 at 6:07 PM, Roger Mexico said: Well according to that very Sky News article: Planned re-signalling work at London Victoria had already resulted in most Southern trains due to serve the station between 27 December and 3 January being diverted to run to and from London Bridge. This was timed to coincide with the festive period when demand for travel is low. Since you had originally claimed: No Gatwick Express or Southern train services into London Victoria due to staff shortages. Largely down to staff absence arising from the virus but it’s been quite a common issue for several years on that route I was just pointing out that that wasn't the case currently - what's happened is that Southern have extended that for some days because of Covid's effect on staffing (and I suspect demand). See below do you still think it’s engineering works ? Due to the ongoing effect of coronavirus isolation and sickness, there will be no Gatwick Express services until further notice.

The IOM has zero appeal to the BA target market. Channel Islands has much more to offer and better weather. Strange, when you look at things to do in Jersey not one mention of heritage on their main page! They know how to market themselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
