Why don't you get on to your companies and press them for getting you annual passes for the multi-stories?
I believe they are about £350 per year per pass.
Little outlay for a helluvalot of convenience.
Perhaps I am reigniting the embers, but is the airport really obliged to provide premium parking for non-MAA plc staff ?
I spent 6 months working in Oklahoma, where the airlines had their own carpark facilities..if you aint satisfied with what MAA are proposing ( and I agree, the facilities at Manchester AND Gatwick are dire), perhaps this is the route the airlines should go down ?

160to4dme,
you are very mistaken - two of my colleagues have recently resorted to 'buying' a space in the T3 multi-storey.
The cost ? A cool £1000 per year - payable up front in a single lump sum.

"After V1, we'll take the emergency into the air - You call 'Positive Climb' and I'll ask for the gear up. We'll climb away at V2 +15"

The Gulfstream is out, but a JetStar II is "in" (stage III certified) and we will use it to transport crews between BKK and Davao/General Santos, as well as other corporate flights. And yes, we provide ALL crew transportation from home/hotel to the airport and return. First class treatment keeps crew satisfied, training new guys is expensive.

Some of you make me laugh (cynically). Those amongst you claiming to be professional are unable to put together a reasonable argument to back up your complaints. Pilots are not the only ones affected.
Time spent on the road means less time in the bar

Well they're at it again - T1 Long Stay closed and all cars re-directed to T1 MSCP - result : nowhere to park in T1 MSCP ! MAPLC are now parking cars on the Coach Park cos there is nowhere else !
Why ?
As soon as one member of our team is unable to park in T1 MSCP I will be on to Hale Top demanding Reserved spaces since my company spends a fortune on car parking for T1 MSCP and they will certainly not be parking in T2 and walking !

I think that somewere along the line we are all missing the point. Cast your minds back to a few months ago. There we where all busy beavering away doing our little bit (For the good of the company). MAPLC that is, When out of the blue came the good news that Manchester Airport God bless em had gone to the shareholders for a quick sub approx £240
millon give or take a £5er or so to purchase
a couple of car parks in the Midlands and down in Bournemouth, Plus not forgetting the
recently aquired car park up on the Humberside. And as a jesture of good will a
few weeks ago a joint venture between Airtours and the Airport was set up and a lot of people had a trip out to the new car parks on the new staff bus, Which just happened to be a AIH DC10. Not bad for somebody who does not care about their staff.But beware changes are afoot.

This morning the T1 MSCP is closed completely ! Why ?
Well the Car Park Supervisor explained to me that it was full of cars which should have been parked in T1 Long Stay but these could not be accommodated there as a huge part of it is closed off for maintenance works during half term. (Now which idiot planned that?)
I was informed that I could park my car on the Coach Park (to which I replied where are u going to park coaches ?) and when I declined his invitation to park there, I was met with a "take it up with Geoff Muirhead" attitude.
I added that my company pays an awful lot of money to park in T1 MSCP and that as such MAPLC Car Parks should remove
(a) the various 'Operations' vehicles scattered around and
(b) all MAPLC 'staff' who do not pay for their parking
since MAPLC are in breach of contract in failing to supply the contracted parking !
No doubt this situation will continue by my next e-mail is to Mr. Muirhead to see if I can park beside him in Area 20 !
Watch this space !!!!!

Well, we spell it that way here, don't know about the French, and don't care.

Manchester Airport has given you the finger as well as everyone else. Would the concerned staff that use the staff carpark use your service (pilots anyway)? Suspect that they would not, even though it may well be LESS expensive than parking their cars at the airport. Certainly less stressful. All they seem to want to do is complain and mill around like a herd of sheep, looking for that elusive parking space.

Geez! It's irritating enough to have to put up with some of 411a's one-liner snipes but the 'oiks' that rise to the bait and then lead a topic off course with their pathetic responses are even worse.
At least 411a tends to stick to the subject matter even though his/her style may be a bit irritating from time to time, but to actually respond to something and argue the toss just proves that there are enough gullible ones out there who can't even understand what the red writing actually means! Try counting to ten after reading one of 411a's posts before jumping in and trying to slag him/her off and do us all a favour and just ignore it if you don't like it.
No doubt the same people are going to jump on me now for straying off topic too but then I suppose it is in their genes that they don't have the faculties to realise that they are being 'baited'. Give us all a break and just ignore 411a if you don't like the attitude and stop wasting space here with pathetic tit-for-tat responses which are, frankly, as pathetic as handbags at twenty paces!

The Question of parking in staff and the nightmare it is, has been mentioned in a meeting. The Managements respond was that..... it's a fact of life..... they are only interested in how much money they can make from joe public and sod the employees who make the airport operational.

There you have it, six pages of opinions to realise the car park's owners are just saying "bo**ocks to anyone getting in the way of us making an extra farthing!".
Look on the bright side. The time on the bus will give all the opportunity to receive additional education from that night's chip wrappers. I feel a group moan coming on.

The limo option looks better all the time. Many times, cheaper than the private motorcar. Someone in MAN could make a fortune provided of course, that those concerned "crew" could see the light. Said goodby to my "airport car", have used a limo to the airport for the last 12 years, never a problem, and much more relaxing.
