HI All,Politics, partially..but mainly revenue!I worked for AA from day one at EGLL ( for 10 years )and its all about filling those business class seats on the KJFK run.It's all corporate contracts... twice weekly flyers on full fare ( although those corporate fares are much lower, sometimes 50 or 60% of full fare ).Why LHR?? Well first image. Doesn't matter what the reality of the airport is like, Heathrow is the one to go to. Same situation for Kennedy at the other end. Nowerdays it's super quick from Newark to Manhatten, but who wants to go to Newark?Transport. Those corporate boys have cars that meet them. They don't use trains, the tube or busses. Heathrow to West London HQ.. 30 minutes.American paid a lot of money to TW for those slots, but when I used to see the revenue / mile figures they got a good return ( generally )Paul ( now located in SPIM )
