We are long overdue a new iomtoday FOI request to determine the overall liability, it was £5.8Bn three years ago with a current funding gap of around £40M annually. Lots of revenue being demanded and being diverted into that currently, methinks. Even by Eddie Teare's actuarial calculations of ten years ago (🤭), the liability was due to continue to rise until the early to mid 2030s.

I doubt that its as a result of someone being fired, I assumed that they outsourced maintenance https://www.jobtrain.co.uk/iomgovjobs/Job/JobDetail?JobId=19803&fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR3TRXOSWsFEDqAHv9FWXrSM4sQO65XGq49EWOIdE5Us99moZAUHR47GKWM_aem_Zh6RDEYNeSBaVxREnVWjIg What is and isn't outsourced seems to be a bit vague. It may not be a new job - I found a job description from 2021 for the more prosaically-named Caretaker (downloads) which seems to be similar: The main purpose of the job is to ensure a high standard of cleanliness and hygiene, assume delegated responsibility and accountability for the maintenance of the Terminal buildings, assume delegated responsibility for ensuring strict Health and Safety standards are met, and undertake day-to-day supervision of cleaning staff. The Caretaker works under the direction of the Head of Terminal Operations, with daily direction and supervision delegated to the Airport Service Delivery Manager (ASDM), who is the local line manager. If anything this looks less like a job description for Caretaker than the new one: As Terminal Maintenance Supervisor you will lead the terminal cleaning team, ensuring the cleanliness and hygiene standards of the terminal. You will play a pivotal role in fostering positive working relationships with colleagues throughout the organisation, collaborating closely with the Airport Services Duty Manager to deliver an efficient, professional, and customer-centric service for the Isle of Man Airport. The main objective is to be able perform unsupervised routine maintenance and minor tasks that don't necessitate the expertise of a fully certified tradesperson. You'll promptly address departmental and customer requirements, efficiently identifying and resolving specific tasks. Responsibilities encompass routine maintenance, erection and dismantling of equipment, building cleaning, and supporting colleagues and tradespeople as needed.

They've obviously spent all the money on a time machine, no wonder it's looking tatty. The figures are of course for June not July. Despite a good June (and May) they're still slightly down on the same six months in 2023. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether they use abacuses or 1.0 MS-DOS, or not, won’t matter. Even whether they’ve got crowdstrike Falcon Sensor installed is irrelevant. Many airports and airlines use it, so everything will be on groundstop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this moment, arrivals and departures at Ronaldsway are normal, except that they've all been delayed for between 30 and 60 minutes due to the daily ATC break.
