A trifle harsh?

I think your comments are a trifle harsh given the circumstances. Firstly it was CV that had the problem and BHX was one of a number of airports that could have benefitted from its demise. It certainly was not stealing the business.
That BHX under what has been the harshest economic climate since the 1930s has grown the business, some would suggest substantially, does deserve some credit.
Passenger numbers and airline development is certainly another matter but, in this circumstance, i think it should be plaudits and not brickbats.
