BA Boi; I think is spot on, despite meeting the SHPIG targets for LGW all is far from rosey in the garden. Ground handling performance is still poor and costly and Waterside is reluctant to put any new longhaul routes there as so many are covered by the opposition and at considerably lower costs, which is the main concern. The SH operation is run surely to stop Easy becoming a major player from LGW which would happen if we cut back our SH services. If we could facilitate the 777 services at LHR be assured they would be here tomorrow and bear in mind the 7's are the GE engined a/c which do not perform as well as the RR engined. It is of greater concern the replacement of the 737's that at times look desparate and cannot operate as effectively as there LHR equivalent and it is to the Euro aircraft that need to be the prime concern for replacement. If replacement goes ahead it will not be until the end of 08 start of 09 at which time Watersides main concern will be T5 not LGW. If the price is right don't rule out the EMB190's.
