if LM were a bit bolder they could be in a better position to offer lower fairs and compete with any low cost operator

they have to beat Ryanair - who are generally believed to be able to breakeven at fares 70% of EJ's
I don't think people understand just how LOW COST an LCO has to be

There hasn't been any progress updates on the airport's extension APP since the 25 May. With the fine weather that we are currently experiencing surely it wouldn't be too difficult to get some drone footage of the current status of the runway extension.

Please stop banging on with the continual negativity. From your previous posts you obviously have a problem with project management/mismanagement at LTN, you have no evidence to show that the same will happen at SOU.
Provided that post construction work, ie AGL flight inspection and survey, are completed promptly I would speculate that the improved runway declared distances will come into effect in two months or less after finish of construction.

My nomination for the person to open it, probably the longest serving airport SOU employee having originally worked for based airlines such as BUA (1960s) and Air UK, and finally until his retirement NATS, renown aircraft photographer Barry Friend.

Regulatory bodies are not noted for their speed, which can lead to frustration. As for Southend, I am a big supporter but there is little point in wearing rose tinted glasses when the facts paint a different picture with just 2 departures on Saturday, and yes it is summer.

Its not a case of being anti SOU, SEN or anywhere else, its just a reality check.
