The airport closed because the snow wasn't predicted, meaning we didn't have the staff on standby to deal with the snow that fell
Oh come on!!
I watched the TV weather forcast on three different channels. BBC, ITV & Sky. All of them predicted snow in the middle of the UK with the edges of that snow boundary brushing MAN. I live 15 miles south of the airport. I was expecting snow and planned accordingly. You telling me the airport didn't?
Bull!! They took a risk and made the wrong call just to save a few bob.
All for the sake of a handful of staff probably on minimum wage+.
Bad call. Typical bean counters. For the sake of a few hundred quid in staff costs they have cost the airlines and themselves thousands. Not to mention upsetting passengers, the bad press and poor performance expectation in the future. World class my Arris!!
