I think we know that Boltar doesn't get the concept of a hub airport.
He asks the same questions every time it comes up, but never reads the
answers. And unlike Mr Bell, he's rude with it.


When I see a proper answer I'll let you know.

You still don't get it do you? Infrastructure needs to be *operated* as
well as built. Planes need servicing, fuelling, crewing and so on.
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.
