I'm sure a smart cookie like McManus will have noted Jetmagic's failure - and even they never tried to pony up the $$$$$ for an LHR slot. [Actually LHR slots can be had but not at times of day convenient for business travel] He may also know the old saw that to make a small fortune in the airline business start with a large one. As for Michael Noonan - has he ever even met Willie Walsh? Willie Walsh got BA by making huge, unpopular cutbacks, not propping up uneconomic routes.
