"I understand delays of more than 30 mins are common on the ground during weekends and at other times Lossie aren't providing a service. Can't see the airlines accepting that for long."

A lot of the delays at times are unfortunately caused when QS are doing the Radar service. Certainly seen a few aircraft held up during the week due to QS not being willing to depart aircraft! From a pilots point of view weekend's can actually be less delayed than during the week, especially in good weather. VFR aircraft are just passed as traffic info and not required to squawk ident before almost every movement. Probably no fault of Lossiemouth though they have their rules to obey.
