No disrespect HZ123 but your sources at BAWC have proved wholly unreliable to date! Gatwick is not an option for BAWC whilst Virgin and Easyjet are still in talks with BAA about the airports furture. At this stage the only move under consideration is the Stansted traffic. Whether or not BAWC are just being cute and using Manston as a bargining chip with Stansted or whether they are wholly committed only time will tell.
