I suspect there is a long way to go on this yet. We should start by cancelling all order for Airbus and order Boeing, this would get the attention of the French to start with. I agree 100% with Easyjets statement, this move will do nothing for the enviroment. A 737 with 148 pax on board will pay the same as a 747 with 148 pax on board, which emits more Co2?
As ever with MEP's its tax first, think later.
No doubt the the MEP's will continue to enjoy cheap (ie free) flights at our expense.
