Football hasn't changed over the past few years since they has been introduced.
Man United is a global brand and as you say, is watched by millions (sometimes 1bn+) so there is obviously room for Chinese, Arabic and Russian etc. advertisements.

"To return to the Manchester CEO theme - at last there is an opportunity to appoint a CEO and management team who has a sound understanding and an enthusiasm for aviation and manchester inparticular."
Spot on Daynehold and excellent post.
As others have said, it's the same everywhere.
As you said, "Nuts to them all"
Arriving back in March, let me buy you a lemonade

Burst your bubbles !
Sorry to dissapoint all you "We love Peter " fans, but the truth of the matter is, that the airports present dilapidated state on its taxiway, apron infrastruture etc., all originated with the said incumbants occupation of Head of Airfield Operations.
What a downhill path was trodden in the haste to meet artificially low-set budgets.
Instead of standing up to the higher managemnt tactics of always wanting more for less, there was a crumbling of strength in the department along with the taxiways etc. When there weren't any other savings to be made, the hatchet fell, by which time the airfield state had passed the point of no easy remedy. During this time many experienced, hard working, knowledgeable and previously loyal members of the Ops team were deemed too expensive and were demoted or given the heave-ho. Others who stayed found the working conditions and demands almost intolerable. (A situation which is almost still the same - same CEO!).
A new CEO is desperately required who will back his workforce 100%, and not continue with a regime of back stabbers and folk looking over their shoulders all the time. Many opportunities have been missed over recent times by people not having or being allowed to get on with their job for fear of upsetting those in the palace of power.
My vote for new CEO would be for Dougal off Father Ted ! - a 110% improvement, and funnier?
This is just so the record is set straight.
Throwing distance and trust spring to mind

No scan, no flight at MAN
If you're selected in T2, you have to be scanned.
Acc. BBC:
BBC News - 'No scan, no flight' at Heathrow and Manchester
And they can scan your children as well.

Grow up! Might be snowing with you, but nothing at the airport - my office is near the perimeter. Reverse of yesterday when a couple of inches fell, but in some surrounding areas very little appeared.
Despite the usual sniping I thought they did well to re-open only an hour or so after the snow stopped.

al446: although the councils own most of the airport land in trust in the proportion 55% Mcr, 5% each for the other nine, some of the newer land acquisitions were made wholly by Mcr, so they get 100% of the ground rent of that part.
Mcr City Council, being:
the majority freeholder of most of the land and the only freeholder of the rest;
the majority shareholder;
the rating authority, and;
the planning authority;
has a vested interest in a) buying land, b) charging over the odds to MAG to use it, c) whacking up the rates bill and d) granting planning permission for anything that'll increase its income.
That's something the auditors ought to look at, if only for the other nine shareholders' benefit, but also for the wider public and the banks that now own a large proportion of the group, which was heavily mortgaged to buy EMA and BOH.
The whole finances are a spaghetti plate of complicated opaque deals that only serve to cream off as much as possible to Mcr City Council at the expense of the other nine. A bit like BA's "loss making" MAN-NY route

If there is one good thing to say about this government is that when it comes to security they don't p*ussy around.
Cements MAN's place as one of the safest airports outside of Israel.

Flew into Manchester from Geneva yesterday, the lack of snow just a couple of miles from the airport compared to the deep lying snow at the airport was amazing.
As close as Sharston appeared to be clear of snow, but about 10cm around the runways.
From the view as we came over the UK only the immediate area around the airport had any snow whatsoever.

"Cant see the problem here, if you have noting to hide and it makes travelling safer then what is the problem"
I think the problem is putting children in those machines.
Would you put your children inside?

I think the problem is like this.
Would you fly your a/c into building?
Would you try to blow your a/c up?
Answer l hope to both questions is NO.
Would a terrorist fly into a building, has been done, so answer would be YES.
So what is to stop them using children?
So if you don't want to go through the scanner or want your children to, then you have your answer, go by train, boat or what ever, but not by plane.
It is simple, you have a choice.

Personally, I feel the authorities have made the perfect call on this issue: I would rather them see my b*ll*cks on a screen than on 'Air Crash Investigation' twelve months later...

`If there is one good thing to say about this government is that when it comes to security they dont p*ussy around`
Sorry but I cant stop laughing...The one thing this lot have never done right is security. Its alway been knee jerk, its always been well ok but lets not upset certain minorities and its always been for show rather than to ensure effect. Someone quoted on here a while back that UK security is more for the reassurance of the gullible than stopping those it needs to. Good quote.
Israeli security is the gold standard, if this government were not p*ussying about and were serious, those are the measures that it would adopt. But hey that would involve certain political decisions, that we all know they havent the balls for
They are so serious about Airport security that they have put it in the hands of `for profit` private security companies who employ a lot of minimum wage staff. Why are the Police not involved at security, as an overview. The Guardia civil are in Spain.....
Sorry cant share your view......as this line of business is what I did for a living for many decades...
