Beafer, Peel wouldn't lower themselves to posting on somewhere like this. That being said I can see why I might sound like them, but I will continue to support them until they give me reason not to, i.e. when the airport is in any kind of danger of closing.
Staff morale was very low a couple of years back, and whilst there is still a way to go it's currently the highest it's been in quite some time.
Sheffield City has been discussed to death, it closed because it was an unsafe and unviable airport. People use Sheffield as an example to show that Peel like to close airports but don't forget they built a mostly brand new one as well.
