So everytime a repair is effected you want the Manchester Evening News to run the story in the interests of improved aviation safety?
What repair would that be then?
To be honest I could care less what a local rag like the MEN writes. Like most newspapers they never let the facts get in the way of a good story.
However, as anyone who works out on the apron will tell you, the facilities are now a liability, T2 especially. They were not designed for modern large transport a/c such as 777 and 330. Unfortunately, as long as the bean counters insist on spending money on shops then the operation will suffer. Stand 12 and the on-going ILS saga are cases in point.
