The paragraph below I have taken from The Cabin Crew thread and is from the offer made by Ba to the cabin crew. Is there an agreement between unions and Ba which limits/prevents long haul expansion at Lgw?
"It is accepted that restrictions within the Gatwick Fleet memorandum of agreement limit the long haul route network. It is agreed that discussions will be held with a view to removing these restrictions to provide the best opportunities for growth in the long haul network at Gatwick, for the benefit of the business and our people."

I have no idea if such agreement exists or not, but if it does them I really hope it is removed. Gatwick is now pretty limited for long haul options, especially west bound.
