Mr Curry's ramblings re BAA have been around as long as the internet itself. They still follow the same two, mutually exclusive lines of argument

1) (when addressing anyone from anywhere other than Western Scotland)

* "BAA favours GLA more than EDI"
* "BAA have little enthusiasm for EDI and it shows....
* "EDI being monopoly owned - one must accept, reluctantly, that EDI is at the nose-bleed end"

2) (when addressing anyone who might be defined as being "pro-Glasgow")

* "EDI is the Scottish number one airport for scheduled International Traffic"
"EDI not hosting scheduled TX flights?....of course it will, one thing for sure, it is not destined to become a municipal airport on the wrong side of the Clyde"
*"EDI was Scotland's busiest airport for the 1st. quarter of 2001"

..and there you have it summarised. BAA have no enthusiasm for EDI and favour GLA yet have simultaneously grown it into Scotland's largest airport for scheduled traffic and busiest overall in the first quarter of this year.

I suggest more credibility would be gained by pursuing just one line of argument.
