I'm not sure there is a particularly good reason to worry about BA having a monopoly to Carribbean islands and places like Las Vegas - yes, I know it is also a convention centre. It's not the job of a Govt to subsidise citizens spending their money on holiday in another country far away. Complaints by Brits about how expensive holiday in Barbados have become can and should be ignored
And add in Miami LAX JFK BOS SFO MCO & Hong Kong too - All these are flown in direct competition to the only other legacy UK airline BA
