I guess only by a revolution
I agree - it is a lost battle. I am a little baffled as to why they don't want to cater for us... I mean - how difficult is it to have a few parking stands for GA close to the boundary fence with a big arrow saying "go this way to pay and exit", and then go in, pay landing fees and maybe £20 for the privilege of using their toilet / letting them call a cab for you / sorting out your booking out. The amount of work required is SO minimal, and the profits are just that great! You could get 10 planes a day as opposed to 1 plane a week (if that).

It's fairly evident that they simply don't want GA in the first instance.
I couldn't agree more. Shame really! I don't see us being such a hinderance on their operations, if anything, we're the easy customers! But perhaps the jet customers don't want to mix with us? (need to polish our shoes :P)
