Albert Tatlock Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 As long as it's some other ***kers fault, that's all right then. I wonder whether Ann Reynolds will still be there in Feb 2012? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manshimajin Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 Damn those pesky English & their Pesky Weather But things will improve reassuringly in February this year because February last year was when the UK had bad weather. The Airport Manager must be full of confidence that the additional 300,000 passengers required this year to be back in line with the Plan will be a cinch given the arrival of big jets.

oldmanxfella Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 Damn those pesky English & their Pesky Weather So let me get this straight. Every person on a canceled flight just never subsequently arrived here? Why would anyone just write off a ticket because of bad weather? Surely if your flight was cancelled due to weather and you were coming here for Xmas you'd get a refund and just switch to the next available flight? That woman is clearly just full of shite.

asitis Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 The only words applicable to all the figures are ' in decline' no matter how it is spun. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P.K. Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 Doesn't it worry anyone that the numbers, despite all the bad weather, are basically static? Because it means all that extra investment is a complete and utter waste of money should... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asitis Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 The frustrating thing is it was illustrated to Tynpotwald before they went ahead that this all was farcical in terms of a capital project ! and so it proves !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparky Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 Are those lamp posts or fence post on the stretch after the Sefton roundabout? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theambo Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 I think that they are indeed part of the worlds largest and most overpriced Fence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manshimajin Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 Are those lamp posts or fence post on the stretch after the Sefton roundabout? If they were lamp posts there could be bodies swinging from them come the revolution! Surely they are not fence posts! Are they moving the prison down to BeeGees Global? It is a shame that the Manager's bonus is not based on return on capital achieved as she would be paying off most of the VAT deficit from the 'disimprovement' at the airport Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluemonday Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 The marketing strategy needs to be reviewed The entire airport should be covered in gold leaf. This will make it shine and look pretty Every school on the Island should make a papier mache full size aeroplane. These can be positioned all over the golden airport and like plastic decoy pigeons on a field of growing kale, will entice other aircraft to land At the same time, a new Manx National Bank Holiday should be created. On this day, everyone who lives here, dresses in traditional manx garb, makes their way to a beach and throws all their money into the sea in tribute to the Goddess of The Golden Runway. A sort of Manx/Inca religious fusion. This will delight the annual tourist visitor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This airport debate has been dragging on for many months now. To finally sort it, I think we should dunk Ms Reynolds off the end of the runway extension. If she drowns, then that will finally prove she was right all along; if she doesn't drown, that'll prove we were right all along, and we should then burn her. To make it a fair test we'd have to tie her to one of those large lumps of granite they are using down there to underpin the extension, just to make sure she sinks properly. Does she own a black cat?

asitis Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 On a serious note, now all the extra infrastructure is in place the upkeep and ongoing costs are going to be huge ! something the island could definitely do without in the current climate. How does this all fit in with the original proposal by the then airport director Phil Pain Pain (2004) asserts that “we need to be satisfied that the business case for this project represents best value for money, as the airport is required to be financially self-sufficient and there are no external grants or aid available towards the cost”. ....... Therefore it is essential to thoroughly examine the proposal to determine the economic viability in terms of return on investment. Wonder why that went out of the window when Reynoldsway took over !!

At the risk of seeming like I haven't been following this issue very closely, I thought the runway was being extended to meet safety requirements for the existing size of planes using Ronaldsway rather than in the hope it would pave the way for larger aircraft to use the airport.
