A new airport.... South Yorkshire Airport City?

So Mr. Strickland says what we have been saying in here for the past 2 years. It is good to know he agrees, but with ultimate respect to him, you don't need to be an aviation consultant to predict a rocky road for DSA2. It seems highly unlikely his comments will make a difference. The politicians, mechanics, locals, LBA dissidents and they with a well paid job to protect think they know better, or pretend they do.

The sad thing is that some people will give up jobs to apply for jobs at DSA2 in the belief it will be secure. Those jobs may not be as secure as they think.

Mark Chadwick has gone into full meltdown mode. Throwing posts out demanding that the reporting is fair (or basically his view only) and that Vincent Hodder and John Strickland are in cahoots and being hypocritical.

The man’s lost the plot and probably not far off getting himself into some big trouble.

I don’t know about getting himself in trouble, he’s a useful mouth piece for the project so I expect SYMCA and CDC will want to keep him on side, despite the lack of professionalism. What I find interesting through is how he’s now saying it’s no longer if DSA opens it’s when, why he feels the need to be defensive rather than confident.

He might have to get used to scrutiny now, before there wasn’t a lot to scrutinise from a news media point of view, but now that there are plans for SYMCA to purchase the site and the board are likely to wave it through he should expect far more public scrutiny than was applied whilst negotiations were ongoing. Will be interesting to see how that’s handled on there as his posts are contradictory in that he accepts that scrutiny is needed.
