Ever so nice in theory, but when this happened to me actually SQ didn't do that at all, they made us all wait in MAN until the late inbound aircraft finally arrived.

OK, that really sounds good. We like freedom. So, in no particular order:
* LHR get the freedom to build a third runway.
* LGW get the freedom to build a second runway.
* Boris gets the freedom to
do his thing in the river*
(* sorry, wrong river, but it's too good a chance to miss).
* Anyone(everyone?) has the chance to build a big hub operation at an airport in the North of England
I'm not a betting man, but on that list I can see two items which could turn out to be a commercial success, and two items which look like turkeys...
