LTN MAN
Barclay's, 80 million and two years? Think it took a bit longer than that mate, and when you see how many of your colleagues have taken and are taking rvoluntary redundancy offered, Barclays and TBI have obviously made a big impression on their staff!. Yes you're right upstairs is empty(why?), just like there's no glass in the terminal (why?), and no airbridges!. You say easyjet are partly to blame for the lack of airbridges, well who's project managing? easy or TBI/Barclays?. How come easy can make short turnrounds at other destinations using pier's and bridges?, lack of research by LTN Men I think!. 9 and 9L do not have to go, you could pull down the old control tower and BAL ops, problem solved!(sorry silly me, means dealing with a customer). Not so easy to sort out the runway length though with a valley to fill at each end!. When STN gets a 2nd runway which is highly likely, then LTN will need easy more than it does now. If there's so many new lo-cost operators where are they?, why haven't they started?. Perhaps they're still stuck in the car park taking 45 minutes to get from the executive car park to the Ibis rounabout, just so long as they don't want to fly on a Thursday afternoon it'll be ok!
