We all want to see our local airport doing well - good news at mine warrants a few fist pumps usually.
I don't like it when users say negative things about my local and will often defend but in the case of ILS62 I believe he was trying to deliver a dose of reality. Six years of continual decline with no signs of an upturn has got to be ringing alarm bells in even the biggest of advocates.
The MP is an idiot but with only ~500 people passing through the doors each day people on here have got to be asking themselves is it worth keeping the airport operating when you have a major airport with a ton of routes 40 miles up the road.
I certainly think that with UK aviation at least possibly showing signs of an upturn, DTV should be given 2-3 years to get numbers on the up.
I have tried to give a balanced, neutral viewpoint so if you're going to flame me as well, try to do it constructively.
Cheers
