Goldstone, having spent many hours flying with your 'woosies' back and forth to Saudi I would like to add my support for their plans.
You probably have no idea how pleased many Brits are to see their BA flight outside in the heat waiting to take them home, particularly if the alternative is travelling Saudia or worse.
If this arrangement keeps them flying in and out of Saudi during the current difficult period I am sure the same expats will understand.
