Idle speculation on LHR slots

[Dont call me Shirley]

The sad decline of Olymipic Air continues. Last year they pulled their TATLA flights, now they are leaving LHR and CDG.

Wonder if US will bid for the LHR slots (don't know the times) and move the CLT flight from Gatwick. While it won't be cheap, it would be good to consolidate operations at London.

We still have that spare 757 that used to do the Oslo flights. Maybe we could keep LGW and add LHR.

With the Summer Olympics headed to London in 2012 it would be a good idea to add PHL-LGW as well. When most people think of Visiting Europe, London is usually pretty high up on the list. Gatwick and Heathrow really are Two very diffent markets and many Londoners really hate even subjecting themselves to the maddness of Heathrow. Heathrow has a comparable reputation to travelling via JFK in New York........in otherwords, "If You can Avoid it...........Do So!".
