Had an interview with BA who were most definitiely not pleased at this news.
Their main point is that Stansted is not suitable for long haul and they
require a single hub. Then there was the usual line that long haul flights
(and hence business) will move to Paris & Frankfurt.

Maybe BA should think laterally. If they need more capacity for long haul at
Heathrow then move some of their short haul flights to the expanded
Stansted, thus freeing up landing slots.

Huh? BA already have a second long-haul airport, that they are in the
process of running down. It's known as Gatwick.
