Well no, not duped, but there's a certain amount of self-delusion going on when RABA can come out with a statement like

"For many of our members, it is clear that demand for such a connection exists, often in abundance, but the only barrier to an economically transformative connection is the lack of runway slots at Heathrow".

Particularly when you consider that most, if not all, of the yellow dots shown as "potential new routes"



could equally have been labelled "routes that existed in the past, but have proved unsustainable".
