Obviously spending time with the bosses of FR, else talking to the guv'nor at BHX.
Would BA/VS close their LGW operations if it could all be accomodated at LHR? Guess it's a trade off between the expense of having a split operation and the amount of premium business generated at LGW (even for holidays).
This scenario is hypothetical because it envisages a 4-rwy LHR, with adequate slots, operating at maybe 70% capacity, without the delays for take off and landing. Under such circumstances, a business traveller- oriented U2 could become interested in LHR operations. Who can say?
