A trivial amount. Equivalent to about 20,000 full time jobs, mostly customers of local businesses, for an extra 5,000 full time jobs in local businesses. LOL, yes, I'm sure it says that in Heathrow Plcs strategy document. There's no such organisation. Now how about a link to some projections by a neutral 3rd party? Heathrow employs about 60,000 people, or the entire population of a small town, all of whom need entertainment, food and other services. Not to mention the 23 million or so passengers per year who will need feedingand other services, again supplied by local businesses. Trivial? Yes, because your projected figures are bull****. Those figures are at least credible. You have no figures at all. You just have your paranoia about flying, that overwhelms your limited reasoning ability. Give some examples then of routes that will be used by transfer passengers but not in any significant amount by locals. It's a marginal problem. Some destinations aren't worth flying to with either the transfer passengers or the local passengers as the sole load. Add the two together, and you have a full plane which makes a profit, as against two part full ones, neither of which is profitable. It costs almost the same to fly empty as full. So currently no actual examples from either roland or you. Got it. Why would people bother researching things for an imbecile incapable of understanding anything? |
