S1E. Why can't you just say 'Well done Prestwick, Good News' ? Instead you just go off again......
Cos you're not understanding how this works?
Huge terminal needs 1M+ passenger throughput to break even is subsidided by taxpayer when a commercially viable operation exists under 40 minutes away. Meanwhile a scrapper moves into town which will not put so much as a dent in the losses in passenger handling and you think "Yayy well done"??? More like well done them for being subsidised my the taxpayer (!)

What's at HMS Gannet nowadays btw?

They need to decide what market they're in, any profits from cargo, military and transit stops are just falling into an ocean of losses keeping that ancient terminal building open.
