The appointment of the CFO is definitely good news.
I believe the original question was, is there actual work going on at the airport right now? Are you sure there is actual work going on, JD?? My understanding was that they were basically stuck, until the money was released from Holland?

I forgot about the bar, but frankly, I would expect that that was paid for by the people operating the bar. In most places, the vendor has to build out their own space. As far as parking closer to the airport, how does that signify that there is working being done inside?? I hope I'm wrong, but as I said, I was under the impression that the airport had no money to do anything until they get the money from Holland.

No construction going on there yesterday,. Had to walk about 50 yards out on the tarmac to get to plane........ then walk up about 38 stairs to enter the plane. There would be no way to get on that plane if you were wheelchair bound or on crutches.

Actually, the ramp is apparently only used for Jet Blue flights, as far as I can tell. I have seen them actually carry a straight chair up the stairs.

Once upon a time........in what almost seems like a lifetime ago, we watched and waited as a wheelchair bound passenger was hoisted up on a platform and what sounds like the forklift-like apparatus Scuba described, and was ultimately wheeled off and into the plane. The passenger was seated in first class and upon arrival, remained seated until all other passengers had deplaned and was helped into the wheelchair and wheeled off the plane and through the various stages in NY.
Respectfully,
pat

No, we arrived on Delta in November, and used the ramp. Upon departing it wasn't used though. I still believe they would figure out how to board a truly disabled person who couldn't walk up the stairs.

Lesley--so, there is no active work going on at the airport right now? You said 'start' in April.
