To second MV's comments... Flower is indeed a great and knowledgeable (professional) supporter of CWL. Those who know who I am will know my views on CWL, which are not massively different to Flower's....
It makes ZERO sense for CO to:
1. Cut services from BRS to allow for CWL services
2. To start additional services from CWL to the US.
Theplaneman, can I recommend the works of Rigas Doganis, in particular his works on the economics of the industry? You'll find them on amazon.co.uk. They provide a good introduction to airline economics, and will help you see the wisdom in Flower's and MV's comments.
Personally, I would suggest

as well. Anyway, "The Marriage of Figaro" is the Proms Concert tonight, so I'm out of here...
