Well none of it is "data", it's just a set of relative performance rankings. I don't recall arguing otherwise.
You’re extrapolating back from the final results to try and determine what that data is.
No, I'm not. See above.
There is insufficient information to allow any extrapolation, so I haven't attempted any.
There is, however, enough information to verify whether the rules of the scheme (as defined by Heathrow, and based purely on rankings and weighting) are being applied correctly.
They clearly aren't.
Heathrow could very easily defuse any criticism by simply telling us
how many points each metric ranking has contributed to any given airline's aggregate score. But that's not going to happen, because the whole thing would fall apart like a house of cards. If you have in-house access to those numbers, I'll be very interested to know what you think.
