I don't think Southern Duel is being negative, he is just saying it could be possible with some forward thinking and investment. He never said it would be Easy !!!
Perhaps people like to hide behind rose tinted glasses and think everything is hunky dory at Southend !
Personally I believe that if Southend want to still be Europe's fastest growing regional airport as was a couple of years ago they need to do something about it otherwise they will soon become the biggest declining Airport in Europe .
