So instead of an airline operating 1 service profitably into 1 airport with large catchment areas you'd want that airline operating into 3, 4 or 5 airports unprofitably because you object to MAN being the beneficiary?
Absolutely not. No objection from me at all. I'm simply pointing out you can't have it both ways. You personally have led attacks on BA and when the very rational argument above has been used to explain why BA have acted as they have, you don't accept it.
Anyway, let's move on.
