Does the work that has been undertaken for the last few months not go some way to remedying the problem?
Scottie, have you seen how much there is still to do? It's a loosing battle I'm afraid due to the past neglect that occurred on a large scale. To answer your question, "it has a little", but a soon as one piece is repaired another somewhere deteriorates faster. Also have you seen how long it takes to repair one piece of this system? Months pass by with the same old work going on. Didn't they completely relay a runway at Atlanta recently in a month and half, by working around the clock. Our lot seem to packup when it gets dark, which in winter doesn't give much of a working day! Taxiway Alpha is in a really bad way opposite the AVP and down to link AE. What needs to be done is to drive a new taxiway straight through the AVP parallel to the present one, for the whole length, to the Alpha link at 06L. Alas it appears there is not the will or forsight within MA to do this, as it's not a revenue earner!!
Have you ever seen such a mishmash in the parking of light aircraft and Executive jets? Taton parking area - ****e, Rompa area - ****e again, NEA far far too small - grass parking area WHAT A JOKE !!! Still I think that sums up the present leadership and has done for some considerable time
