Grrr

More chance of Flyglobespan, as quite a number of their flight deck crew live around London and have to commute into Scotland! They would be ecstatic with a London hub! Some of their chaps have been helping me rather than commute! Same goes for baby, their sim ain't close to Castle Donington!

Traffic generally in the UK is down 10%, Biz Jets are up, yields are down which is not good for the industry.

With BA hemorrhaging cash, how long before easy have a Heathrow base? Might be a few 'bus' drivers looking for work, an airline taking deliveries and slots available?

Who would have thought back in November 1995 that easyJet's busiest base would have been Gatwick in 2009?

The yields are at Heathrow, that is what all the airlines are in search of!

A BA - Iberia link might see Vueling operate the Shuttles?

Anyway, I am a bear with a dislike for Stansted - Hey' what do I know!

Stansted might look like this after Ferrovial's 'fire sale' of Gatwick has failed to yield any real cash!
