GB Plc
The main thrust of most TV news and Business TV progs in the last few days, is the loss of business to UK PLC.
By continued enforcement of the "carry ons" via UK airport, there will be a reluctance for transit pax to use the UK.
I already hate travelling to the USA, and try to avoid recurrents there, yes I still have the problems getting DOJ approval to train on the same aircraft as my JAA brothers.
The sim centers in the Middle East can train as well as those in USA, with out the pre clearance problems . This applies to westerns as well as arabs.
Back to the point; the UK will suffer if these carry on restrictions are continued for much longer.
Lastly this is the kick in the pants needed for the VLJ market, if the existing air taxi operators dont see the oportunity to expand then they are very short sighted.
