asitis Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 I think it is confirmed that there will be no light aircraft for TT this year, and everything else will be on slot times for arrival and departure. Gonna be interesting when many of the riders used to arrive by light aircraft, particularly the Irish boys ! Great advert for the IOM ! I guess we are reaping what government sowed by employing absolute bullshitters in management positions. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know that's political speech for deniability if he gets caught lying by some evidence, right? Since when did aviation development fall in to DFE camp rather than DOI anyway? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole place is a rudderless mess. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banker Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 Came back through airport this morning, still doing the landing cards until Friday so a number of people thought they had gone & were having to complete paper forms crammed into a little space. 4 members of staff doing the checking etc, 2 scanning, 1 handing paper forms out & 1 helping people fill in the forms. that 4 staff members who should be able to do other work from Friday!!
