Exactly, so if BA OpenSkies want his (or her) business, they aren't, IMHO, going about it the right way. The consensus, however, appears to be that they don't want that traffic enough to compromise other aspects of the vision they have for OpenSkies. Time will tell if that decision is right or not.

Thanks, I had forgotten that point. (Probably trying to erase ORY's fading glory (& paintwork) from my mind.)
