Two-lane Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 Could it be that IoM CAA thinks the controllers are not getting enough rest breaks? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well theres definitely questions as to how they managed during TT fortnight with only I believe a delay on the final weekend. No ATC breaks it would seem affecting schedule . Interesting to know how that was managed?. Edited July 16, 2023 by Numbnuts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Voice of Reason Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 It gets crappier. I am reluctantly using the Ringgo parking app for a trip away this week (;assuming I get away) I have used it before, lastly before the parking was divided into standard and premium. When I log into the app it only offers me premium parking (ref 35800) which I don’t want. After going round in circles I have managed to ascertain that the standard parking ref is 35801 but can I choose that option? Can I heck. I am presented with a pre populated field of 35800 which I can’t seem able to change. So for this short trip I’m being ripped off by £5 I know I sound like Rox’s judge character ( again) but I’m sick of all this airport nonsense. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmanxpilot Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 (edited) It’s not to do with ATCO breaks - they are a professional and disciplined bunch and wouldn’t have stood for anything irregular being imposed upon them. I can only assume that someone with knowledge of a certain situation must be significantly concerned about it to have raised this with Paul Moulton. Now that a Pandora’s box has seemingly been opened, if there is any truth to what is being alleged, we will surely see some serious ass covering happening very soon.

The Voice of Reason Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 (edited) This is what I get. All the pinky purple bits are blue badge areas. I have managed by luck to click on the third button down on the right hand side which does allow you to pick standard parking. Hardly clear though is it? OK they may have changed it since my last post but it doesn’t explain why when I come to pay for parking it defaults to the premium space/rate.. To catch out and rip off the unwary I suspect.

They made the rock in the shop and had a viewing platform to watch. The guys were very adept at throwing melted sugar around and rolling it to make sticks of rock as well as put the three legs through the middle of it. It was quite spectacular. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just loved the smell. If you stayed long enough it seemed to impregnate your very being. I can still smell it now! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re right. It’s very poor. I would also hate it if I had to use it. That’s why I never leave the house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
