Going a bit off topic now, but the other problem with BRS is that only runway 270 is Cat III equipped. The reciprocal 09 is, I believe, to be upgraded to Cat II, but apparently the falling ground outside the perimeter prevents Cat III on this runway.
The airport management did not initially announce this and they also fudge the number of aircraft (the smaller jets and the turbo props) that are not Cat III compliant, preferring instead to talk about percentages of passenger numbers who will now be able to land in the Bristol mid winter soups.
Perversely, there are occasional winter days when BRS stands above low lying fog and takes diversions from the likes of CWL and EXT (that has a usually excellent weather record).
I think the weather notoriety can be overcooked. During the past twenty years I have flown in and out of BRS between 200 and 300 times as a passenger and have only been diverted once. Perhaps I am the exception that proves the rule.

Good post.
It's always better to get the view of someone who actually knows what is happening, rather than listening to the ramblings of people with a tenuous grasp on facts!

Can you see the difference?

An interesting prediction, but you are making many assumptions. Not least about me and my paymasters! Are you assuming I work for BACX?
Somehow I don't think I will be losing any sleep over your views.
Like I said, there are a few people on this site who know what they are talking about. Why not listen to them and learn.
Some people want a Rolls Royce service for Lada money. I hope they can tell us where they find it.
At the end of the day, it's a free country, I would expect you to take your business wherever you get best value.
Good luck.
