I believe you are being too harsh towards Skipness. His posts are usually well researched and he has stated before he has nothing against Gatwick as such. To use the word hate is a bit over the top. However I do agree that quite a number of BA passengers do pay for their tickets too at Gatwick.
Basil Brush I took my figures from the Heathrow and Gatwick websites for 2014. I am not claiming that they are exact but rather to demonstrate the point that leisure and O&D passengers are important to both airports.
