Lets not forget that major Airlines either from the US or the UK not only use heathrow but are compelled to do so.
Reasons being due to Heathrow acting as a major connecting hub not only to Europe but also Eastern Europe and the Middle East.
I agree there should be more competition between Airlines from the US with our own Airlines which of course dominate Heathrow.
I do how ever believe for two very large but also two struggling Airlines like BA and AA to survive it is obviuos because of their vast networks they should merge and weather out the storm. I won't create any sort of monopoly but instead create excuses for other Airlines to be able to join the fun.
Finaly this is no need for any of this sort of argument (If thats what you call it) I feel that the UK and the US are two countries with great respect for each other as well as great friendship.
