It was my litany of supposed weaknesses, not Planespeakings! And I was merely responding to "Interested Passengers" rosy view at #4273

But wasn't this always going to the challenge - being best London airport in a passenger survey wasn't clearing a very high bar when everywhere else is rammed and your nice, new shiny terminal is empty. The problem was going to be how you scaled that experience when the terminal was at capacity? It's easy to have a two minute walk to the plane when you've got three gates...

SEN's USP to airlines was space and capacity when there wasn't any elsewhere - that's now gone and the competition has the economies of scale of the big boys are looking for market share again
