Quite agree. ^ And you are quite right in that once 1 is implemented, after a few years the dying down of "
the Tesco effect" will imply that the usefulness of 2 would be close to redundant.

I would also have the power to excommunicate and bar from membership those who offend me. When I am flying into London, all other aircraft would be required to divert to Manchester to ensure an on-time landing and no active runways. I would institute a guest list policy and suitably menacing-looking bouncer at the Concorde Room, both of which I would control.
Now that would be fun!
