Opening of Concorde hangar
RAF flypast
As a part of the celebrations to mark the opening of the Concorde hangar at the Aviation Viewing Park there will be a flypast of an RAF aircraft.
This will be at 12:00 hrs on Wednesday 25th February 2009 an RAF Eurofighter EF2000 Typhoon will make a flypast of Manchester Airport. The aircraft will approach the operational runway (according to current forecasts Runway 23R) and make a low flypast before departing to the North or South.

Hampo did a grand job of adding to the "cultural" and "aesthetic" side of MAPLC; sadly mgmt are only interested in £ and making concrete tunnels to herd people through. He's left them in a pickle because his legacy deserves proper treatment, but to mgmt it takes up a lot of development space and doesn't generate enough £ per acre.
Nice one Pete! I tip my hat to you.

Now now, Geoff is doing his bit to save money on fuel and save the environment with his brand new Lexus Hybrid 4x4.
Times must be hard, eh?

TUI has announced the closure of the former First Choice office in Salford with the loss of 300 jobs. Would seem too coincidental, perhaps, for the same number to be being lost from MAN too? Crossed wires, perhaps?

With regard to "possibly some jobs in security might go", gotta say, they are always busy in security, discussing last nights footie, what time they got away on their last shift, what they've brought in for meal break......sometimes we have to wait when we go airside while these important issues are discussed!!!!

Hi
Spoke to him this morning on the staff Bus an abosulte disgrace when you see some of the Toxxers in the Ivory Tower spending fortunes on T1 Extensions which to be Quite honest look like shxx
All they want is to put as many shops as possible in the Airport and reap the rewards they are not intrested in people s lives as long as they earn there salary they just dont care..
Kind Regards

Job losses at MAG
Here at EMA we were told yesterday that the number of 'at risk' jobs was 305 at MAN, 60 at EMA, and 5 at BOH. A number of 'new' jobs will be created, no doubt on inferior contracts, so the net losses will be 90 at MAN, 25 at EMA, and 3 at BOH.
Apparently, these losses will be at all levels of the business; we will soon see.

Job Losses
Oh dear.
Sounds like a re-run of events which followed Spooner's demise at MAN in Spring 2006. New jobs = old job descriptions tweaked and offered at lower salary, reapplying for your jobs etc. Not nice especially in the current climate.
Good luck to all those at MAG.

This current bunch of yutzes running this airport need to go! This place is a disgrace compared to what it was just 5 years ago. I have been on the airport now for 7 years and have never seen it as low as it is now. Not even in the downturn following the events of Sep 11. The infrastructure (what is left of it) is a mess and it doesn't work. Airlines (those that aren't going bust) are leaving in droves and the few that we do get in are crappy loco's! This could be a world class airport if the right persons invested and the right persons were running it.
Time to sell it and go private!

Trouble is, at least in 2006 there was still a relatively healthy job market for those brave enough to take Geoff's dollar and try their hand at a new job in the real world. After 2001 and 2006 restructures, the people who left always looked happier compared to those who stayed.
Given that the airline market is contracting, and will for some time yet, it makes sense to downsize any areas relating to capital investment, and they always had too many people in some departments, especially Group!
Sad for the people involved, but probably the right decision for the company.
