I don't post often but I have a premonition (spelling?)

I have a vision or sense (not that I am going to be a contributor apart from buying a ticket) that in 10-15 years BA will only operate from LCY to several business destinations and EZY & RYR will dominate LTN, LGW & STD(?). More importantly I have a suspicion EasyJet will launch a long haul operation from LHR and several european hubs (AMS \ FRA \ MAD) and will decimate BA (cost base being their biggest problem) with Ryanair running a zero frills long haul from Stansted and several other european 2nd level airports. (Not that Stansted is 2nd rate).
BA have retreated from the regions, now retreating from LGW and the wheels are coming off at LHR.
I'm sure BA staff don't want to hear this but neither did Woolies staff.

Gone to tighten straps on my flak jacket \ kevlar hat etc
Finally, I have no shares in any airline or desire to.
