I'm sure the FF crowd will harrumph and moan (they always do about anything)... but an airline should be focussing on profit.
I know the received wisdom that moving from LHR to LGW never works well... but at some point, an airline has to question received wisdom.
Any thoughts ?
LH, KLM, AF are the feeders for the US Airlines, I don't think they would benefit much from direct competition with FR and other European LCCs on routes to STN.
