Joe it is interesting that your apparently factual quote of :-
It was mentioned recently that 50% of PIK's pax are actually going to Edinburgh
..... actually is your
interpretation of the newspaper report which said :-
Passenger numbers at Prestwick are on the increase, but Mr MacAskill said an estimated 50 per cent of the 1.4 million people who landed there last year ended up in the Capital.
The meanings of both quotes qre significantly different.
And when you look at what Kenny MacAskill was reported to have said the " estimated 50% " is unsubstantiated and pretty unrealistic. In all probability this was an estimate (by someone unknown ) of the percentage of tourists inbound (landed ) to Scotland on flights to PIK who pass through Edinburgh at some point in their stay.
When you start two threads almost simultaneously by using titles such as
Gla slipping and
Edi expansion and distort reports I think most people would reasonably consider you to be biased. Not that being biased is wrong as long as you recognise it.
P.S. When did Livingston get incorporated into Edinburgh ?
