Yes they do - they just do what they usually do and threaten to move out of the county.
From what I saw of how the LM operation was turned round there seemed to be loads of staff. Even when paying a landing fee in a GA a/c there always seeemd to be more Stobart staff than customers. They even used to run you over to the new termainal from the old site if you wanted to use the cafe. Great customer service, but...
Be interesting to see how it compared to some of LM's more remote sites, or an operation like Isle of Scillies Skybus.
