Get real Manchester is certainly a victim of its own success
Seriously? That is laughable sir.
Manchester is a victim of it's own incompetence failing to staff up for known planned traffic.
Hence a number of airlines bosses, The CAA & Dept for Transport are monitoring the situation- I can't say more than that here.
My use of MAN has reduced, the fist casualty is Flybe as I'm using the train to Edinburgh & to Southampton as using this airport is just not viable.
If T1 is beyond it's design capacity as you say- then why are they still accepting new airlines and routes that they cannot handle?
By the way- I don't always book the flights so I don't always have a say in the matter. Love your assumptions on my travel requirements.
