Everyone moaned about T3 (of which some were perfectly valid complaints).
Now there's moaning about things that happen in lots of other airports as if they are unique to MAN.
BA are a very small operator out of MAN, but their passengers seem to think they should get priority because.... they are BA.
This isn't just a BA issue, though - it's an issue impacting all domestic and CTA arrivals, which are a material part of MAN's operations.
And a lot of this is completely unique to MAN. Is any other UK airport operating an utterly baffling biometric system, causing mixing between international and CTA arrivals, which has already broken down delaying arrivals from Ireland by hours at the biometric gates? That simply wouldn't be possible at any other airport because they've designed their operations properly.
Similarly, while bus gates are indeed a part of life at most airports, is any other UK airport (not counting MAN T1, which is also at MAN...) routinely bussing all domestic arrivals?
