If only you weren't so ignorant, you'd know that the correct name is much shorter than your invented name. And your name isn't invented? Your mother christened you Recliner did she? Why would people bother researching things for an imbecile incapable of understanding anything? Good point, I guess thats why no one is backing up your position. Except that everyone else has. You're the ignorant dope. No, they've been putting up fatuous reasons why it can't happen - tho all different. I'm still waiting for someone to post something that validates their arguments against manston - you lot make the assertions so back them up. |

You're the ignorant dope. No, they've been putting up fatuous reasons why it can't happen - tho all different. You really need a spell checker: it's spelled 'factual'. I'm still waiting for someone to post something that validates their arguments against manston - you lot make the assertions so back them up. The fact that no airlines want it. Even the airport didn't. As others have correctly pointed out, its local catchment area is small, and it's much too far from the main markets, and too close to other busy airports. It's never even made the short lists of the various commissions over the decades on expanding airport capacity. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-kent-37552369 Anyway, who does someone who's terrified of flying, and would be too scared to use whatever new runway is built (or the existing ones), have opinions on this matter? You know nothing about the airline industry, have never flown long-haul, never used a hub airport, so even by your exalted standards, this is a topic on which you're profoundly ignorant. |

You're mistaking being terrified with finding it a miserable unpleasent experience. But then what would someone who flies ****ed in 1st class know what its like to slum it in economy for 8 hours anyway. to use whatever new runway is built (or the existing ones), have opinions on this matter? You know nothing about the airline industry, have never flown long-haul, never used a hub airport, so even by your exalted Haven't I? Guess I must've imagined visited the USA a number of times. standards, this is a topic on which you're profoundly ignorant. You're so full of **** you probaly need to keep some toilet duck handy just in case. |

Its always easier to make a business case to expand something that already works than something that doesn't and needs investment to work. The government however should take a long term view beyond simple profit and loss. If the country really needs another runway near london then Manston would fit the job if the govn really gave a toss about urban air and noise pollution.

No way would I fly 50 times to the US simply for work business class or not. They could shove the job. Still, there's always some mug who'll do it because he thinks it gives him status, just like the guys who think being tethered to their business phone is an "I've made it" status symbol rather that an indication that they're nothing but obedient cattle at their bosses beck and call. |

And the amount of times you flew for your job its quite apparent you're one of those sad *******s who lived to work rather than worked to live. Some of us have lives outside our work which we'd rather spend time in. Clearly you didn't. |
