Highwide...upper tier management are not the problem, they may be underqualified and prone to mistakes, but they're as passionate about the place as anyone - there are no levels of hierarchy that are a problem, if anything it's security staff, who bar one or two are still miserable little Hitlers who look like their faces would crack if they tried to smile

There may well be more that has been turned away yes, but it will be for the simple reason the deal tabled is of little or no financial benefit to the airport...in which case good!!

They are!!! But as said above the deals need to work for both parties...again this has been discussed several times before by both myself and others.

I can see why Mr Bullschit (awesome name by the way!!) gets angry and feels a need to call himself that!!!
