davidjohnson6 asks some good questions. People saying the airport should never have been opened because it wasn't needed are missing a point. Figures do sometimes go up. Where they do go up they CAN go up. But somehow they don't on a regular basis. I am starting to fall in line with the pessimists. But I don't think it is because people don't want to use the place etc. etc. People want to use the place but it seems increasingly like someone else isn't keen on it flourishing. Please read this carefully before shooting me down. It isn't an optimistic post.
