Without transit passengers, the number of flights at Heathrow (and thus the revenue generated for the area) would be down by around a third. So that's a third of both the direct and indirect workforce laid off. Exactly. Thats all it is. A few airport/airline specific jobs whose benefit to the country as a whole would be barely measurable. For the same money thousands of startups could be invested in which in the long term would generate far more revenue. And wouldn't **** off a million people with noise and pollution. -- Spud |
