It may be to you and to most people on FT, but frankly, I think that most of the target group for CWLCY do not care much about TPs and a significant proportion clearly used the arrivals service before going straight to the office/to their meetings. My sense is that it will have a significant impact on loads and yields just as the loss of pre-flight clearance for BA3 did.

Don't take me wrong, I too preferred it when CWLCY brought more TPs but my sense is that it was both less impactful and less unfair as this now transforms CWLCY from super CW to sub-par CW on a couple of important fronts.
