I have no issue with LHR being made open to other US players, as long as it is made open to other non us players. I am sure SQ would like a slot or 2 to continue SQ 318/322 on to NYC or ORD. I think the strength of product offered by BA/VS/SQ will beat any effort from the US carriers. The FF programs represent a big threat though. Americans can be and are blinkered by airmiles over service. But i digress. I object to cabotage rights. Why should UA have accees to LHR-GLA if VS cant have access to JFK-SFO ???
