As others have said Skipness, I normally agree with you, but have to disagree with you on this one. Even with a full 190, I have only ever used TO1 ambient ONCE in the last year, and will always be above 2000' before we turn North on the BPK.
As for the toy comment. Tell that to the full planes of people who are flying on the PMI and IBZ etc routes. They are full and the only thing that has changed over the last 5 years is that the secret is out on how easy the airport is to use compared to LHR. Most days the EDI flight passengers are on the DLR before the LHR flight has left the Lambourne hold.
Utter madness from this article.
