Sadly, CB, I have to agree. Mixed Fleet could well have been similar to LGW had negotiation taken place. But trying to protect the 'golden runways' of Heathrow has got in the way of doing anything positive for anyone else.
As someone currently enjoying the 'golden runways' benefits, I'd have rather accepted what was offered in 2009 or earlier this year and seen both parties in this dispute spend some time working out a decent deal for our future colleagues on MF.
LGW isn't at all unattractive - I'm on the list to transfer there. MF, however, seems to be.
