you could have four or five runways there and it would still be horrible.
London is such a large point to point destination that it would generate its own indiginous traffic without the hubbing.
Hubbing - what's the big deal? I just hubbed through Frankfurt and (like many others) didn't spend a single eurocent there - where's the economic benefit in that? I suspect it is only the vanity of numbers (my airport's bigger than your airport therefore I'm more important than you).
Good points, Jersey doesn't have direct access to any of the major hubs though. Everywhere else has.
