Actually, re-reading the thread, is there really a point to the thread other than to highlight the fact that movement numbers (RPT and GA) are increasing.
I didn't realise there was a competition going.
Am I to take this you're not an Essex controller?
Buster acting like a 1st class ****, its already happened!

Any ESSEX controllers like to shoot down or agree with niteflite?
Stansted, the UK's 3rd busiest airport, its gonna happen!

Good to see a lively debate.
Anyway, now I have wound everyone up, I am off to upset the chimp's tea party! I just love thier corned beef sarnies!!
Who would have thought it 12 years ago, that the white elephant in Essex would one day become the UK's 3rd busiest airport?

Of course Stansted is going to get busier if it is sustained by what amounts to flying buses going to all points in darkest europe for £0 + taxes !.
The British love a bargain and use these dubious routes and airlines to explore on the cheap. The fact that the airport is miles from anywhere, costs a fortune to get to, park and eat seems irrelevant.
Manchester on the other hand is centrally placed with excellent communication links, it has a genuine catchment area (not distorted by LCCs cheap fares) and a balanced mix of traffic, premier long and short haul airlines rub shoulders with the bucket a spade brigade, freighters and our own LCCs.
SS has too many eggs in one basket and I hope for the sake of its future that the LCC bubble does not burst.

Buster, I think your over inflated opinion of yourself is quite evident. Run back to your little tower where ever it is.
You haven't wound anybody up. Just displayed what your true colours are.
Enjoy the tea party. You'll fit right in.

"Over inflated opinion"
"Little Tower" (So you must work in a big tower then?)
"Displayed what my true colours are"
"Enjoy the tea party. You'll fit right in"
Sound like words from a desperate person fleeing?
Buster is humble, full of facts and certainly never lies, does not work in a tower and hates chimps!
I hope the folk in the towers of the 2 respective airports get paid equally?
As much as I hate Stansted, yes it is a bus station, but the airlines are shifting bodies and making money!
Can any one find a source that says if Stansted makes an actual profit for me, a BAA shareholder? The BAA as group makes a fortune, but are figures available from BAA sources that indicate the profit/loss of Stansted should they have to stop cross subsidising thier business, so rumour has it?
Anyway, I am off to over inflate my opinion, whilst working in my little tower, wearing my true colours, and enjoy sarnies with the chimps.

TOC. Obviously the choice of Buster. If I could give away free tickets to see me I would, but the keepers could shoot me with drowsy darts!
Anyway. Stansted will/is the third busiest airport in the UK. It does not matter the yield per pax, ATCO's still have to work to land and depart them and folk at the airports process them!
My well wishes to the staff at the UK's third busiest airport (Soon), Stansted, and the same to the UK's forth busiest, Manchester!
Mr Jerry Co, come and visit me soon?

Oh, I get it Buster.
Your therapist obviously has suggested as part of your attempts to feel good about yourself, you should go an try to wind people up on the Internet. It all becomes clear. If this is what you have to do to get by, good luck. Just take it one day at a time.
I'm very disapointed in myself. I try not to get drawn into this childish "tit-for-tat". Arguing on the Internet is like wearing a mask of a vagina over your head (some of us may not have to!). Even if you win, you still look like a c**t.

Before I issue pistols at dawn for some of you, in reality how many flights extra can Stansted handle before the second runway is required? it cannot be too far off, I know quite a high percentage of Manchester flights are heavies therefore need larger gaps on finals and therefore runway occupency is not as high

WOW, what a debate! (I must admit to winding folk up a bit and for that I have been locked up by me keeper!)
Anyway, if the German construction company (Fifth largest in the world) buy TBI and into Luton airport for cash, then the second runway could be subject to a corporate battle? One could think that thier could be a a real punch up? BAA Vs Hochtief? A real Stansted Vs Luton. Just think of the all the respective locals sitting outside No10. NO NOISE NEAR US!
Chiglet, thanks for that and Jerry I love you, come and see me sometime. I like corned beef sarnies and not honey. HAMMY, I am off to have a few Bear to English translation lessons.
