Albert Tatlock Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Whats the betting at £60m before its finished? A nice big bet on this could be a good way for the Government to hedge its position! It would have to be a nice big bet...with the governments record the odds are 1/300 on it being done on time and budget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asitis Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Yes I know this brings me out of the woodwork, I would love to know if anyone has actually contacted the CAA and asked the question about a timescale for the RESA recommendations to become mandatory, as this became the raison d'etre, or does the directress already have the promised letter on her desk. Would be interesting to put someone from the CAA on the spot. Got fed up talking about money, we all know this is another waste of massive public resources getting ever larger to feed the ego of the idiots in charge. Btw the figures on growth are a whole lot worse than those predicted in the 'alternative' document presented to Tynwald but luckily we can hide behind the downturn. 2.2million extra, drop in the ocean LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be good to see a local newspaper or radio station asking for this information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freggyragh Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 OK, if the information is not forthcoming, is anyone interested in testing the limits of the Manx taxpayers apathy and organizing some kind of protest stronger than a strongly worded posting on MF?

MilitantDogOwner Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Not going to happen, if the Manx Tax payers apathy over the IOMSPC is anything to go by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee54 Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 And I wonder why the main contractor at the Airport sacked A large Manx plant company halfway through the contract, or is it a case of ripping a local firm off again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was local firms that did the ripping off? Its difficult to keep up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newsbot Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 A sharp drop in passenger numbers at the Isle of Man's airport last month is put down to snowy weather conditions and the deepening recession.

asitis Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 I thought January press release was a laugh but have a look at the february one !, once again public money has been thrown away and those in charge are desperately trying to justify it.

Albert Tatlock Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 http://www.iom-airport.com/news/viewnews.g...yfebruaryfi.xml It's like reading about someone sinking in quicksand, justifying that their holding a set of weights will get them out quicker.

Utah 01 Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Anderson - “It has taken a number of years to build up a strong air service network for the Island, and we are determined to try to ensure that this remains intact for the future." What planet is this guy on? The island's air services have been a blood bath over the past 7 years or so largely due to the town coucil's 'open skies' policy. The nature of the ailine business means services are never 'strong'. If he fails to understgand that he should stand down - along with the Directress.
