LBA Support Group Initiative

[White Heather]

I have written to quite a lot of friends about this and sad to say quite a few haven't replied, whilst others who said they would sign it still haven't by their own admission.

Only 6 more signatures so far today. I do hope there are many that just haven't got round to signing. I will wrack my minuscule brain to see if I can find anyone else to share the link with

Maybe a good time to reshare as much as possible with it been the weekend.

Could it be worth sharing with any other likeminded airport support groups? If there is any.

You would have thought with the amount of people who are directly employed by the airport or associated companies such as airlines or handling agents, including all those on furlow/laid off that there would have been a much greater take up, after all their jobs depend upon the success of the airport.

I have shared with a large company at LBA! To be honest we are doing well. Dont worry everyone. this is about quality of arguments rather than quantity and LBA have a great economic case. For the housing development at Bramhope they got 1000's of signatures of verifiable local people on the petition but it didn't make a jot of difference....we have a great economic argument and that's what counts.

We have to remember that not everybody is as keen as we are on this. Some people would rather moan about the facilities, than do something and support this.

2 more required to reach the 700 milestone. Hopefully today!

Without giving a running commentary, just 1 more needed for 700 now

Done some Tweeting on the Support Group Twitter account this evening.

705 now. But 10034 people have seen the petition. And just over 400 shares.
That suggests only around 7% who see it, actually sign with just 4% sharing.

Harsh maybe, but if you don't ask or not straight to point, what's is the point?

We've hit an iconic Boeing Aircraft type just now with the petition total. One aircraft type our member @a300boy use to fly for "Dan Air"

We hit the slightly less iconic 717 this morning, so it's taken the rest of the day to go up the extra 10. I wonder when the 737 will be reached? Let's hope when we do, it's not the Max!

Some of you should have been writing scripts for Tommy Cooper !
Well done to you all for getting this support petition going I hope it reaches or exceeds your target.

 

[White Heather]

Well it was 727 yesterday early evening. Since then, we have gone all the way up to .....733. A whole 6 increase.

Well it's not the iconic 737 figure but 733 is the abbreviated number given to the 737 300 so still quite appropriate given how many of those we have seen here since they first appeared in the 80s.

I've been on the offensive this afternoon on the LBA Support Group Twitter page. Hopefully will bear fruit.
