If an MP says the cost is X you can triple it and
add 10% !
One other thing is troubling me.
There seems to be a lot of jostling from the back.
Who exactly is going to operate this tsunami of domestic connectivity ?
Heathrow plc clearly want it - the airport operator.
A number of domestic points - airport's again !
But which airline are we talking about ?
ie those who will actually be providing the service ?
Presumably we want BA to invest in a speculative fleet of short haul aircraft for Teesside, Humberside Etc ? Where incidently they can go head to head with a F70 3 times a day to Schipol
Or maybe a dozen new A320s just to increase frequency to MAN EDI GLA Etc to every 30 mins ?
Maybe somebody will follow the Virgin Red formula which inexplicably failed based on "lack of frequency "......
Or what about Flybe who were costed out of LGW as at today's prices....not 10 years hence!
Answers on a postcard !
