Good - we don't want any Open Skies agreement. It would cause widespread job losses throughout the industry (the well-paid jobs anyway - plenty of crap jobs with the Lo-Cos would be created I suppose.)

Our North American BA flights , protected as old British Caledonian's routes by the Bermuda 2 agreement, would be moved to Heathrow. Continental, NorthWest, Delta, US Airways and all would also move to Heathrow leaving Gatwick as a Low, Low Cost Airline Hub!

I doubt if it would be any good for the USA long term either!
