She wasn't complaining about the Airport being busy, but badly organised. We constantly get told that lots of money should be spent on the Airport because it presents the Island to the world and makes the first impression and so on. But they don't seem to care if the impression given by the way it is run is one of cluelessness and indifference to passengers' needs. We constantly get told that lots of money should be spent on the Airport because it presents the Island to the world the subject of money has not been raised by ms reynolds for quite some time, so all must be "fine and dandy " at the airport, with no issues ??

Have seen her shopping in the Co-Op in Castletown, ( and using her loyalty card ) so obviously not on £365,000 ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is true that little is known about the airport it is one of the "Can't say" places for publicity. BTW the radar apparently is only half approved hence the need for the old one as well ! Still you get what you pay for ... or maybe not !! Is that the old old radar or the new new radar , or do we need a new, new radar? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know very little about the rich is you don't know that very many of them are keen to get the best value for every penny they can. THat may be how they got rich in the first place. (That said I assumed Cleo meant £1000 per week. Though I reckon Reynolds will be on a fair bit more than that). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hissingsid Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 The lady, who is not demented, has obviously never been through Manchester, Liverpool or Dublin security on a busy day. Our airport is quite small and days like this may happen, once a year? I travel frequently and have never seen queues outside so it must have been extreme circumstances and it would be madness to spend any more money on an airport that gets busy on a high or feast day.

Andy Onchan Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 5 hours ago, Cleo said: There were people queuing outside, there was no organisation, travellers didn't know where the hell to queue and no-one around to tell them and if there is a tannoy system down there it wasn't being used. Maybe you where there, I don't know, but you obviously weren't there when I was. I don't think the world turns for me, far from it, but the image it gave of the island was bad, very bad. I'm not demented thank you and I can take that people may not agree with me, I however don't have to descend to trying to ridicule someone with an alternative viewpoint. Cleo.

woolley Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 On 6/8/2019 at 12:45 PM, Roger Mexico said: It's a bit of a mystery. He was appointed as Operations Manager at Ronaldsway (and so one of Reynolds' deputies) last September. You would have thought that someone outgoing would be all over the media, but I can find nothing since. I can't find anything Manx on his Twitter, just a lot of russophile stuff - though he seems to keep his professional and media profiles separate (I couldn't find his job before coming here). The only evidence he is still here is that he's giving a talk to Rotary next month. But then Reynolds herself has been uncharacteristically quiet recently. The motto at the Airport now seems to be 'Never apologise, never explain". His media profile can't be so high nowadays otherwise why the hell would he want a job at Ronaldsway?

How remotely? I cannot see a need ever to use a bus for passengers at Ronaldsway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there are regulations involved. If the plane is parked more than a certain (very short) distance away from the terminal the passengers aren't allowed to walk across the apron. Before the current departure facilities were built buses used to be used all the time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
