I agree to an extent Facelookbovvered, even when you consider that the SNP have lost over £6million GBP since taking over the running of EGPK, there is no way Alex Salmond and his party will close the airport before his referendum. His campaign is losing support faster than EGPK is losing money. By closing the airport he would effectively be committing political suicide. Wither you believe it to be the right thing to do or not, he simply will not do it. Here we have a fine example of politicians playing politics.
