And all he seems to be doing is claiming that everyone is mis informed making people even more angry. A link to somewhere on the Interweb would be appreciated.

Chris Thomas is a master of obfuscation ... and within his interactions there is no shortage of apportioning blame to other depts/agencies (and the travelling public for expecting to be able to park and travel from something that resembles an airport) thus in so doing deflecting away from DOI - unfortunately whilst some of the points may well be the case unless somebody gets a grip and tackles the airport as a whole and stops allowing this playground behaviour of blaming everybody else for what is going on eg blaming the DFE for the wrong size trolleys, and the fuel man that went home without refuelling the plane, whoever paints the lines in the car park for making it look like a dogs dinner .. etc etc etc nothing is going to change ... if they cant sort out the small stuff amongst themselves how on earth can they sort out the big stuff! Somebody needs to pull all of these fragmented depts together and get the basics the nuts and bolts of a working airport sorted not a mish mash of Govt Depts ambling along blaming each other with absolutely no leadership. Whilst it may appear to be a win to the IOMG for people to bail and go by boat if people lose faith in air travel altogether this could go horribly wrong for air travel to and from the Island. 4 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numbnuts Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 Chief Minister ! Needs to knuckle down and earn his salary and do his job. Too often missing in action. A good leader has his ear to the ground and a great leader sorts out the issues. He is neither. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing new there then. Their social media and arrivals /departures is a joke and rarely up to date. Yes you’re all right. This travel business is pissing me off big time .

You might be spot on about Gatwick getting cancelled though. A/C hasn't pushed back yet and who knows where it will be down the pecking order of departure slots now.

We shall see if they make that timeline. What’s the bets , crew hours ? ATC issue ? Or ?. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mmmm this is either going to be an aborted journey or the airport is staying open very late ! That’s going to be after 11pm departure I’d say .
