Is this a slip by the WM or PeterP?
This WM article came from a young lady who didn't seem to know anything about the field and didn't seem to be listening to the answers she got. I certainly made no reference to Paris and suggest that the entire piece could never stand up to PPrune scrutiny, shall we say? About as accurate as a caption on a Sun Page 3 picture.
Good to see realism among many of the posts now appearing here. We are still predicting pax growth but venture to remark that carriers need to see better yield from all UK airports this year ... 2006 was not good ... so the system should not add capacity in too great a measure. Unless everyone wants to work harder for less money, that is.
