Another thing...I am still in the business; I just don't run an airport any more.

I'm afraid I sense in some of the replies too great a willingness to forgive and move on.

I stand by my statement that the closure should not have happened and under a knowledgeable and experienced management, with proper resources and finance would not have happened.

That's the rub; you need a knowledgeable and experienced management to run an airport safely in all respects, let alone an owner which understands its obligations, and I saw little of that in the last few days.

In my book "learning lessons and moving on" is a code for "carry on as before, thank God we got away with it without being sacked".

I have noticed over a longish life that very little changes for the better unless people fear for their future if it does not, by reference to what happened to those in charge when it last went wrong.
