Jeez, when will people learn to stop comparing CWL to BRS?

Despite their relative close proximity, the difference in the 'passenger catchment' between the two means that CWL will never compete on a level ground, what CWL should be doing, and I've said this before,
is capitalising on what it does best and what it could do...namely provide a creditable alternative 'long haul' stop off point for those operators
using 'fifth freedom' rights of passage (and if you don't know what the five
freedom rights of passage are, you better go look it up)

However, these won't materialise overnight unless CWL
1) Puts its' charges down to same levels as competing airports
2) Management stop chasing BRS in a playground pee-ing competition.
3) Review the mandatory 'handling' policy which has effectively killed off
GA/Business traffic and the once thriving flying clubs

rant over
