Perhaps it's time the industry started to use the law to it's advantage.
We all know that BA & BAA have lots of very expensive lawyers in their pockets. Why don't they start earning their money by suing the individuals concerned for attempted restriction of trade or something. I am not lawyer but surely they can come up with something. If you threaten to tie these people up in very expensive litigation that would see them lose their house, then I am sure they will not be so keen to proceed with these actions. The major flaw in their argument is that they moved to the area knowing that LHR was there. Presumably got their houses cheaper as a result. A good lawyer (yeah, I know it's an oxymoron) should be able to do something with that!!
