If we cannot be assured that the 10 people per hour who benefit won't delay the 100 of us peasants who don't we have to find against this proposal.

Since half of the movements are positioning flights with no passengers, 10 is being extremely generous.


Twice the airspace that Gatwick needs for less than 1/1,000th of the passengers (and Gatwick's are at least CAT punters, not GA taxi limousine guests) is ludicrous.


Reducing a 15 NM VFR choke point to less than 4.5 NM is a serious safety hazard, and should lay the CAA open to a charge of corporate manslaughter if they allow this, and a fatal collision does occur.
