I'll keep this simple for you to understand.
I'm a UK tax payer and i hate waste of any kind because i'd rather piss my taxes up against the wall as have the Government do it for me.
What is going on at PIK is plain wrong, there is no strategy, no vision, if this was a private airport i really couldn't give a stuff whether it continued to make a loss or not, it would be a matter for the share holders, but its sate owned and funded, it serves only to undermine other Scottish airports & GLA in particular, there is no overriding social or strategic need for this airport to be funded by the tax payer.
Every penny (and there are millions of them) spent propping up PIK is money that is not available for schools and education in Scotland, let alone hospital and health care, yes it protects a few jobs for a little longer, so what jobs come and go across the UK on a daily basis
Why not build an international airport at St Kilda that is how daft your pro PIK argument is, at least someone might want to visit there!!!
