Optimistic!! Its a total utter disgrace. They cannot be bothered to clear the runways, that is the reason we only had a few movements. KLM must be asking themselves the question, why do we bother?
We dont even get LBA or NCL diverts now, an AF CRJ went all the way to Edinburgh yesterday when NCL was SNOWCLO. Thats a 3 hour bus ride instead of 1 hour from MME?
JET2 now have DSA as their number 1 alternate from LBA. To be serious it cannot go on much longer, Peel must be losing a fortune. There is a rumour that Approach control will be done at Liverpool so thats the end for some long serving and very good controllers, Peel did this at DSA.
All it takes is a shiny new plough and some de-icer!! OH and some staff
