Suggests you know it won't.

Whilst your enthusiasm is laudable, your inability to recognise that there is no economic nor political imperative explains why you fail to understand the current position and why things will not change.
You see airlines and airports as social services, there to benefit the local population, fundamentally that is where your position is broken.
Fair play to you Kurt, at least you don't hide where you're from. Sorry I forgot your posts - No I don't think it will be an election issue. Young tax payers do expect to be treated fairly though (much more than the old stoic Yorkies who just put up with crap). How come someone in Manchester gets to ride on a brand new tram direct to an airport with a direct flight to Florida when someone in Leeds has to go on a drafty old bus to an aerodrome on a hill to watch his flight to Dublin (before America) have to divert in a gale? We pay the same taxes so the services should be more equal.
