JTSB

JTSB has posted 8 times and all post are both about SEN and pro-SEN. I wouldn't take much notice of his over-excited juvenile spotter comments.

There as those that think SEN have built a decent airport and comment accordingly, those that have hidden agendas to promote SEN (Expressflight for example) who relentlessly put down any criticism of SEN, and those without knowledge or experience who slavishly follow them, just like young JTSB.

SEN has been successful in attracting EZY. That's good for Southend golfers and Southend holiday home owners travelling to their pad in Spain or Portugal. There is no financial benefit to Southend as a town. The maintenance flights into SEN existed before Stobarts took over. There are no business aviation flights over and above those that all ready took place and flight training at the airport is under pressure (increased fees and lack of space for competing FTO's).

All of this deserves informed comment and discussion but if you don't believe in or support what is happening at SEN then you will not be welcome on this thread. Seems to be this is a classic case of those who have lost the argument thinking that by shouting the loudest they will be proved right.
