A "well spoken" lady passenger when interviewed on local TV last night sais she would object to paying the £6 charge to fly from DTV. I can't see the logic in that. Would she rather travel 100 miles (round trip) to Newcastle and pay the associated costs. In my opinion DTV has always suffered for being just a bit too close to "Big Brother" Newcastle. Years ago even Teesside Travel Agents would offer flights and Holidays from Newcastle when there was an alternative from our own doorstep here at Teesside. Also many years ago (Remember Hurricane Charlie) during a "Cockpit" visit I asked the Captain of our Cyprus Airways Airbus what is our "Alternative" if we couldn,t get into Newcastle. "Manchester" was his reply. "What about Teesside". "Where ?" I pointed it out to him on his chart !!!. Hhmmm he said !!. All very frustrating.
