I am with Basil Bush 95% of the way here. What is good for BA is not necessarily what is good for UK plc. I suspect the Mancunian Tendency might agree with that! If you've already got the slots you want then naturally your perspective is a bit different from (a) if you haven't, (b) you are trying to view it from a wider perspective than that of an individual agent.
The 5% concerns what happens in the do-nothing scenario. As I understand it the slot regime is governed by the EU and I don't see any available remedy as long as we are in. Can you think what might be feasible within the rules Basil?
