BHX should hopefully be the biggest winner ?

Do we actually have a marketing/
PR dept at Manchester ?
......I refer to this thread as it precisly illustrates the real lack of ambition at MAN. The biggest announcement in years on the future of UK aviation and the noise from MAG marketing and senior managment was deafening........
Meanwhile BHX which punches far above its weight wades in with two stimulating press releases, which actually made Sky News and BBC-R4.
OK I appreciate it "may" be smoke and mirrors, but at least it's publicity and puts BHX in the public eye and more importantly possibly raises the profile in the minds of the Government .
It's not as if this wasn't coming, it was an excellent opportunity to do a bit of flag waving and get some national exposre on the back of a Governement announcement.
It's infuriating and just bloody typical to see opportunities missed all the time .....
Hopefully "The Water Bearer" can stiffen things up.....
