It would seem that the confluence of BA, BAA and the DOT is creating an unfriendly environment for the business traveler.
This will no doubt have an impact in the form of people (if able) transferring via other hubs, such as CDG or AMS and in the longer term the birds will come home to roost.
Sadly I guess there is not a lot that UK based travelers can do, other than consider Eurostar to Paris (a bind) or hubbing and spoking from a regional airport.
I now look forward to my encounters with BAA airports as much as visits to the dentist.
