you are probably right, added to which, don't be suprised to see a direct attack in the near future on a certain Stansted low cost carrier's beligerence towards anyone who is choosy about the way they are treated (ie. the over 50 brigade).
I am led to believe that this is a two, or even multi pronged mission by a combination of NWI management and competing airlines - i.e. more than one.
It would be great if it came off, because if it does, there's bugger all the beligerent bugger in Dublin could do about it...
