While I regret any loss of life as a result of choosing to fly - I feel that Concorde's days were numbered anyway. The bead counters at BA wil be rubbing their hands in glee at the resources that will be freed up by not operating this "old" aircraft. Terminal 4 at LHR will be much quieter as of today. I look forward to seeing where the paparazzi go now to get their pix of the Concorde clientele getting on rival flights to JFK. I welcome any surplus Concorde guys to the real world in the hope that the 1st Class product is good enough to keep ex-Concorde punters flying BA. I suspect however that BA will kick these guys in the bolloxs big-time and if they ever join the rest of us they will feel less than happy to produce a good product. I also look forward to Concorde flying again as normal despite it all!
It's old, it's noisy, but it is still the best kick in the bollox the USA ever got.
