Avports

I always mentioned National Express, but here is a company that looks like the perfect fit for ORH already operating Tweed Airport in New Haven. Thanks Roger!!

Anyone going to drop Avports a dime or an e-mail? I know it's useless/futile b/c Worcs attitude is..........we know best what the airport needs......(a breast feeding room & Massport)...........i. e. ...more political bull++++ so Worc can at least exert some politcal influence up there........

Their name seems imply they need an Av(enue) to get to an airport

Time to put the airport in cold storage. If we dont get the $1M Washington subsidy for reaching the 10,000 passenger threshold........(which we didnt reach so WTH bother to even have a threshold?)........then it's cheaper to just shutter the place and get rid of the $65,000 bean counter the $30,000 custodians, and all the rest of the employees up there.

BTW, does our contract with Swissport allow us to just close the airport if they have been designated the FBO, per a previously existing contract........or maybe we have to give them a certain notice timewise? Or maybe teh contract allows us (Worc) to assign the citys right in the contract over to someone else????..........Any chance this could be a stumbling w/the Massport negotiations and/or the Massport labor/union??

Also who staffs the control tower up there??...........must be Swissport???....Massport????....or is it unmanned???......what little I have seen of the airport payroll doesnt seem to indicate control tower personnel on the city payroll??.........and I assume this is a 24/7 job if needed/req'd??

AlSO (2nd time)........what happened to the aFRICAN mUSUEM OR DO I HAVE WAIT UNTILL TOMORROWS wOMAG TO GET an answer???

I am laughing. When was the last time anyone heard a railroad advertising and doing a PR spot on the radio........a company that markets & sells strictly at the industrial level........advertising on the radio which is primarily a retail consumer medium?????.....no wonder I only got a B+ in Marketing !!!!!

Well CSX just ran an ad on Levy's show.......I wonder why.......LOLL

Truth is stranger than fiction.

I wonder if the Manager can freeze wages if the city is deemed fiscally unsound??? Stay tuned??
