BA and IAG have been pretty much on the fence, at least publicly, throughout the whole Davies Commission debate. In an interview with the Guardian last year WW even went as far as saying that LHR R3 was "a lost cause". However in the same article he was also against a second runway for LGW, and had previously spoken out against Boris Island as well !!
This latest tough talk attributed to WW could be an aggressive negotiating strategy to get someone other than IAG and its customers to foot more of the bill for R3 - which could only mean either HAL itself or the taxpayer ?
Or maybe WW really does think he now has enough LHR slots up his sleeve to support maintaining the status quo at LHR, and pursue growth for IAG by other means such as more airline acquisitions and creation of alternative IAG hubs elsewhere, like he has almost achieved with EI and Dublin ?
