If you don't like the service that the airport provides (or any business for that matter) then you're welcome to find an alternative. Given that you don't say a single positive thing about the place and always have something to whine about perhaps Teesside, Leeds, Manchester or Edinburgh would better serve your needs?
The airport has won several commendations for its service and popularity with customers over recent times and have invested in numerous improvements yet you always have something to whinge about.

"yet you always have something to whinge about."
Maybe it's because it is deserved.
I have given praise when it deserved as well but, of course, you choose not to see or remember those things, along the lines of, "an inconvenient truth".
How many times have you seen people drop off in the short stay car park? I can't say I've seen anyone and the taxis certainly don't do it.
As you say, there is competition and how do you know all those many people living in between don't choose NCL but another one?
The idea when running a business is not to see others doing something (ie charging for dropping off) and then just doing the same. They should be doing things to make the inbetweeners choose NCL.

Same at BHX. As a regular flyer (once upon a time for Business, now purely for Pleasure) I would fire our current taxi company of choice if they even attempted to drop us off at the Drop Off Car Park, rather than the Terminal.

The choice is still there for everyone.
Either pay a few quid and be lazy or walk a couple of hundred yards....or even wait for the bus if you’re tight and lazy.

Personally I’m surprised there hasn’t been a nasty accident around the airport with people parking anywhere to avoid the charges. The lay-by on the dual carriage way from Kingston park always worries me if there aren’t cars sticking out at one end there’s always someone pulling slowly into fast traffic. Good job there’s so few flights this winter it’s bit quieter when I’m driving home in the dark....

The airport takes action against those too lazy to find the free parking. People take their chances i admit but the airport website and signage make the protocol crystal clear. If people choose to ignore that then that's at their discretion and they will be responsible for any accident occurring not the airport who are enforcing legally allowed powers on their private property. Don't like it then don't do it
