The problem is that people are flagging his post as insightful. Since when did he become the official mouthpiece? He can of course say what he likes but if people are taking what he’s saying as gospel then i foresee it leading to issues for him down the line, particularly if/when it goes belly...

Chadwick’s latest diatribe that looks uncannily like it’s been AI generated; I did though feed it into a well known AI system and asked what its thoughts were. They are below; While the previous text suggests that public investment in airports is a harmless national "norm," it overlooks a...

Population of South Yorkshire is around 1.4 million, so if they’re saying that’s the catchment area then the respondents constitute 0.7% of the South Yorkshire population. They reckon it has a catchment area of 6 million or something, which by that logic means that 0.16% of the catchment area...

Still hasn’t appeared on there, he must have missed it mustn’t he! I’m sure other group members have tried to link to it on there but he’s probably not seen those attempts either. Anyway there’s still a lot of people commenting about AENA story and how it’s just the same at CDC bankrolling...

It doesn’t appear to have made its way onto the mechanics outlet yet, I’m sure he’s just getting around to posting it up. He has posted the CDC update about the fantastic response to the questionnaire that saw an ‘overwhelming’ 10,000 people respond with 93% positive feedback, 89% of which would...

Even so, I can’t imagine AENAs stance will be any different. They’ve made a significant investment that they’ll want to protect. If anything this may encourage a challenge, particularly if AENA really did look at DSA as some had rumoured, as they’ll have a good idea of what the council are...

Well AENA is probably like MAG, making good investment decisions on behalf of their shareholders. It’s traded you see, so has significant backing from private shareholders. It’s fundamentally different to DSA where the local authority want to throw a load of money at it in the hope some of it...

The mechanic has posted a blinder this morning in response to the AENA deal:

Well tomorrow it will be three weeks since the vote to approve a loan to release funds for upfront reopening costs. As far as I can see there has been no subsidy published. I think it was @White Heather who suggested they may drop it on there just before Christmas in a tactical ploy to reduce...

I think it’s just best to ignore things like that. The post was clearly aimed at people asking why some flights get in and others divert when the weather is bad. It’s just how it works and is all about maintaining the highest safety standards. What they never understand (and I don’t think they...

Airlines aren’t starting in winter 2027, that’s one of the fundamental misunderstandings that Ros Jones appears to have, though I suspect it’s a politically motivated timeline. It does somewhat undermine their position though. As for Chadwick, he hasn’t got a clue.

Like I’ve said before, airline execs just have to wade through the political waffle knowing that these people haven’t a clue what they’re talking about and simply jump on political bandwagons to show they’re doing something. Still haven’t a clue what this sustainable aviation hub will look like...

Easyjet is the rumour, but it’s a rumour amongst pilots who are usually the least reliable when it comes to things like this. There’s also a fair bit of wishful thinking amongst the pilot community, understandably in some ways. But pilots don’t pay the bills, neither do ATCOs or Ground Ops.

Regurge are just a statement piece and the more extreme members will be getting upset that it’s being infiltrated by the more extreme Tories who will do anything including selling any principles they may have had just to try to stay relevant. Anyway I now see that the YP have run an article...

Politicians have meetings all the time, a senior airline official said recently that they’re nothing more than a talking shop, setting up ‘working groups’ but it’s nothing more than a PR stunt. This is the same. Nothing to see here.

I would expect kick back from the various GA airfields/flying clubs. I know that technically there may have been no/not many transit refusals previously, but that only paints half a picture and anyone who spends a bit of time in the local aviation community will know it’s often a PITA that many...

I think they’re aiming high strategically and I suspect they’ve taken advice by specialists to do so. Understandably of course, this is a bit of a unique situation where they aren’t applying from scratch but they’re attempting to reopen the airport. Whether this works or not is another matter...

Not yet, the council have to publish the exact details of the subsidy onto a Government website, I don’t believe there is a time limit to do this but you would think they’d want to do it pretty swiftly to get the ball rolling. Once this is done any objections must be lodged within 30 days. So if...
