Oh. So the UK market isn't wide open then. Why do you keep suggesting that it is, when access to its largest airport is curtailed (much to the delight of BA, I imagine)? And if UK aviation policy is dictated by the consumer, what's with that hefty APD they have to pay over there? Is that what the UK consumer asked for?

And apparently you have a hard time stomaching the notion that what is best for you isn't the only consideration. There are other stakeholders.
