Guv, welcome.
Can't quite agree ref open skies. If a sovereign nation decides to have a bilateral treaty with another sovereign nation, then who the hell is the EU Transport Commissioner (ie unelected bureaucrat) to get involved.
Atlas/BA/AACS/GSS (or whatever they call themselves tomorrow) is getting away with murder in the UK. Bliar & his cronies lets them. I certainly don't blame Atlas for it.
Just my tuppence worth.
