I would like to humbly agree with you and the same argument could be applied to the debate on runways. LHR have simply done too good a job over the years at getting the traffic in, no matter what the conditions are and that takes all the pressure of other people to do what they should do; Managers over fuel and Govenment over runways. That is why we now find ourselves with you under fuel pressure and us under runway pressure.
Somehow it feels like WE have failed if we lose somebody to LGW or if the landing rate drops below 40 due to wind. Many take on more than they should in order to fulfil your needs. It is very well intentioned but I believe acts contrary to the longterm common good.
