Well I'm left wondering how on earth they are going to squeeze a quart into a pint pot? Like an NCP car park on an international match day, Heathrow is full up. I want to be around the slot bartering table to see who's prepared to give up what and at what price and at what time.
And as someone succinctly pointed out that they had never had a CTOT at a US airport, true, but then at LHR you don't have to add FPF plus 5 tonnes for the taxi !!
Will US airlines with more debt than Africa rush to get a slot at LHR, possibly but then why. You can get to LON just a quickly from STN and LGW as you can from LHR and with less hasstle.
