Oh, and for the record, part of the reason LGW has had trouble in the past in regards to making profit has been due to the fact that as soon as a route made profit, it would be moved to LHR. How can LGW then make profit, when the opportunity is taken away from us?
Examples of such routes: TIP, KBP, LEN, RIX, VNO
Considering LGW (LH) is the only part of the business making a (small) profit at the moment, we're a great example of how it can be done. And we're increasing flights to 2 Caribbean destinations in the Summer season 2010. We must be doing something right, I suppose. Assuming, of course, that BA will still be here by then...

But didn't the CC at Gatwick vote for the strike, so it is relevant. Or was it only the CC at LHR?
Union members at LGW had the opportunity of voting. Some said yes, some said no. A lot didn't say anything at all. I firmly believe we were told a few little "porkies" as to why we should vote yes.
