Talking A300boy

Cannot disagree with Rainboe but of course I can draw different conclusions !
I choose to live in Yeadon as I can get to my operational base easily using Lba flights as and when I need them, however I normally use company flights from another regional airport. The debate about the various problems are old hat now and it is hardly news that crew do not like the Lba. That said we can improve the runway surface increase the length and improve the navigational and landing aids.What we cannot fix is the wind direction on our windy days but hey if its not within limits ! divert its no problem and a bus journey is better than an accident. We can make the most of what we have and even though the airport is built on a hill so is Luton which handles around 12 million passengers a year, Crew or at least the ones I know dont like that airfield either but it continues to grow.
