Thomas we don't have a vendetta.
There are folk that obviously who do though who have obviously put alot of thought and effort into changing the current status quo.
We are just putting the point forward that your view that it won't happen, we don't agree with. And that legal challanges will be more than likely fruitless. And even if they do succeed the next round of legislation they will have another shot at restricting it again.
I am quite sure the owners are clued up about it. And being the sort of people they are, they will be doing a constant cost analysis. As soon as the cost of fighting it exceeds the cost of complying they will change their plans.
Yes there is some scope for basing outside. Jersey/IOM parking will be full and then the other countries just outside will have more aircraft based there. But then again once the positioning costs start ramping up and the aircraft isn't ready just down the road thier views may change.
What hardware we all fly doesn't come into it.
