T3 stand reconfiguation

T3 still affected by the legacy of having been designed for BA with a fleet of Classic 737s and pre-winglet 767s. Some reconfiguration has already been done but Stand 49 remains incompatible with the 767W and Stand 50 is only capable of taking a DH8 / EM75 and so is sacrificed for the greater good of having a decent remote bussing facility. The loss of Stand 50 is to some extent offset by greater availability of Stand 18 due to the ending of Little Red to Heathrow.

Jet 2 / Air Asia is indeed off, capacity taken up by wet-leased 757 and in-house B733.
