A slight if not massive lack of cash investment might also of been the problem. No government grants.
Yes we can always pass the buck, but basically you don't attract investment / grants etc. by sitting on your a**e ! A lot of work goes into obtaining any funding. It is always easy to claim that the grass is greener elsewhere, but if you sell out to the likes of Peel then this scenario is to be expected, as the only grants & funding that they are looking for are in respect of 'alternative projects'
And no slippery dealings at the expense of the staffs wages unlike other Northern airfields.
Well on going back to the 'peanuts - monkeys' quote (not mine), then on your logic if I'm understanding you, then you are saying that the staff are / were better treated and remunerated at DTV? If so in which case, then why are DTV unable to attract better quality individuals to sort out what, if trends continue is slowly but steadily degenerating into an unecconomic and unjustifiable case for a major airfield.
Bad & weak management inevitably leads to bad decisions, a situation that is all too obvious at DTV or is MME
...you don't even need to look far at all for some of the more obvious gaffs
