Alternatively, the report is so shocking, as in you have bought a pig in a poke with no clear future, that the government will bury it.

From what I can see, the Scottish Government bought PIK without a particular plan in mind - hence the current management remain and there is no forward looking plan currently in place.

What happens if Ryanair succumb to Amanda McMillan's charms and move their pax ops up to GLA, leaving just their MRO operation and free parking deal at PIK?
There is not enough revenue from mil fights, training flights or cargo to keep the lights on which is why the government is using taxpayers money to do so.

Prestwick has a future, but it needs management that has imagination, vision and a passion for the place. From my experience that is clearly missing, otherwise there would not have been a need for the Government to bail the business out.

There certainly doesn't appear to be a welcoming attitude to new businesses.
