Forgive me if I have missed the point here, I am but a simple engineer!
Maybe the wiser amongst us could try to explain just how this works
So we have BA fined for what is effectively price fixing with Virgin, and get hit by a big fine in the UK. That seems fair as they are UK based and broke UK law...
BUT why in the name of all that is holy have they also been shafted with a huge fine from the good old boys across the pond.... seems like BA suffer twice for one crime!
I in no way condone what BA (And virgin) did, and agree that action was due, but surely the UK courts are the place to deal with UK matters.
Would we have tried to impose a fine on say, American Airlines if they had been caught doing similar with United? and If we ever tried would they pay?
