Dtv Rip ?

said it before and will say it again..if cobhams/frl pull out..the airport will close.the only meaningful revenue coming in is from those 2.
worringly..it may be out of everyones hands as the defence cuts may make the decision on our behalf.

the future...who knows..i think all airports are struggling..especially with domestic taxes..so (1)domestic flights imho are out of the question.
(2)international schedules..doubtful..never worked in the past when the economy was 'good' so why now.(3)Bucket and spade, well how many times do people really want to go to Spain(and can they afford it?)(4)now no military to fall back on
Its going to be a hard couple of years fo rDTV(and all airports) the question is can we survive as a going concern and come out the other end in decent shape?

Only time will tell...fingers/legs/cheques crossed !
