Skyman it was the way the newspaper had set out the article more than anything else. It was purely set out to make an impact and the best way that could be achieved was by making out that bmibaby had done something wrong and it was their fault. The Northern Echo does seem to have a anti MME stance. By the way the Northern Echo still hasn't reported on the NCL-ALC cancellation. Its just annoying when a local paper has a go at the airport and the airline when they have done nothing wrong. If they had done somthing wrong by all means slate them. The paper is suppose to suport the local area and the airport is doing just that. All that will happen now is people will ahv seen the article read the headline and the first few lines and said i'm not using bmibaby or Durham Tees Valley airport again, thus losing the airport business.
