dreamon Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 Oh ... you mean the usual old chestnut trotted out by Cob & Co when they're unable to provide a credible explanation. It goes along the lines of ... it's a requirement of the CAA! Unfortunately this isn't always exactly correct. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Non-Believer Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 2 hours ago, Stu Peters said: you have to be in the belly of the beast to see properly how it operates compared to the private sector. Some of us have also been there and know. It operates on expectancy and entitlement, with that expectancy being that it will be eternally financed by growing hikes on the taxpayer. It abhors the thought of self-contraction or cuts to itself. Such things are akin to defeat in its mindset. It knows little humility as it breeds its own arrogance which it instils into its members at an early stage of their membership of it and which increases as they rise through its ranks. It regards the general public as a clueless, ignorant mass to be ignored, or at best, patronised (as you alluded to in your own 2021 manifesto). Knowledgeable SMEs from the private sector are seen as a positive threat. It is patently out of control and has been for some time. 5 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know - have you told them? You should if you have a legitimate concern…oh no, maybe not - you’d have to put your real name to something. 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A fool and his money..... Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 This corporatisation bollocks that Tim nice but dim was talking about. He said it would be run by a government owned limited company. I take it that's just another way of saying arms length, ie. we still get to pay for it but have no democratic control over the place and government get to absolve themselves from blame for the type of cockups that the airport has run on for at least the last 20 years with no end in sight. 4 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
