Its not only the airports etc who want to make the money, I think the airlines should be included in this as well. I assume you fly for BA at Heathrow? if that is the case do you think your bosses would like the 2.5 mile spacing increased to 3 or 4 miles which would in turn mean more holding and more fuel being burnt so that you did not have to sweat on a landing clearance? I am afraid we are all working close to the edge to satisfy accountants.
