Media portray Leeds Bradford airport unfairly.

Well, it's not written by the BBC business correspondent it? So perhaps the writer didn't have an agenda.

He was fairly positive about the airport in his last report. He can be quoted for saying "what I like about this development is you're going to be able to see the planes". He was referring to the view from the new departure level in the terminal extension.

He will need to do more for me to forget all his past negativity.

Good on Vince Hodder for calling them out. He told the ACC 2 years back he had invited them to meet but they then tried imposing various demands before doing so, which Vince quite rightly refused. Personally, I wouldnt give any of them the time of day and they can shove their teddy bears where the sun don't shine.

Typical of Leeds Live to give them the space to air their grievances, although they come across as pathetic, selfish, backward thinking NIMBYs.

The comments are quite unanimously in favour of the airports which is good to see

Good. I feel sure the initial burst of negativity stemmed from those who oppose the airport down the A1 and those in the group that shall not be mentioned here. The Airport Support Group has proved in the past that the support vastly outweighs the opposition, but the problem is that the majority tend to get on with their lives and say little. Its a shame the noisy minority can't do the same.

Unfortunately in all walks of life the negative few tend to speak loudest. In work meetings, football supporters and developments there might be overwhelming support but that one voice can always be the loudest and most noticed

Leeds Live and all it's different iterations from around the country are an odd mis-mash of half-arsed reporting, so much copy and pasting that their reporter's keyboards will have the writing on Crtl, V & C keys worn out, and very misleading headlines. Alongside this story, and a couple on the opening of the extension & how well it's been received are headlines like "Brits heading to Spain issued warning amid new £164 nightly charge". In fact in just a couple of days there are several "Brits issued warning about <enter travel destination>" type stories.

Turns out this "nightly charge" simply refers to the average price per night staying in Spanish resorts, although it doesn't attempt to qualify what data they actually used. So it's not really a surprise to see them hunting down the Unspeakables to try and spin a story out of it. Quite frankly if our only news source, and I use the term news very lightly here, was Leeds Live, none of us would ever leave the house again after reading about warning after warning that they issue about absolutely ever facet of life. One has to take so much salt with Leeds Live articles, that it could cause serious blood pressure issues!
 
Got me thinking, we on here could team up and publish our own LBA mag on behalf of the airport, great advertising and all positive news! Finger66 could have his own LBA jokes section within the mag, 😂
Probably need to be more online based though now.

i must be a lunatic. Friday 25th Sept will see me doing a daytrip that involves me leaving my flat in Manchester at 1am and not getting back home until after midnight. All because I'm doing a Loch Ness and Scottish Highlands trip.... out of Glasgow

For some weird reason, my days off work tend to involve being out of my flat by 5am and not getting back until 10pm. Back to work and the regular "fix" of 7.40am to 7.15pm hours
