I would love to know who these thousands of people are who currently live under aircraft free skies but will be suddenly blighted by noise from the third runway.
BAA have also been buying up houses in Sipson for years and currently rent them to staff at reduced rates most of the residents were paid out handsomely and moved on long ago.
As for STN get real. The business case was is and always will be for LHR. If we are going to do it lets get the most value out of it. If it goes ahead I would think BAA would be lobbying for a 4th runway by the time construction starts.
