I didn't think you were taking a cheap shot I just felt the direction of the thread was not one that was pleasant or productive to pursue.
What % slots are controlled at Heathrow - prime airport of the pre-eminent European financial capital?
Far less than any other flag carrier at their home airport actually.
Hmmm...seem to recall BA before privatisation was characterised by a heavily unionised, inefficient workforce willing to see the airline go to the wall rather than.....oh, wait...
Except in those days it didn't make a profit and certainly I wouldn't class the pilot workforce of today in BA, the only group I am truly qualified to judge, as 'heavily unionised and inefficient'.
If I didn't know better I would think you had an axe to grind.
