Hi,

Gromit801,

I totally agree.. The whole picture is much more complex than what one might 'see' on the surface..

Coming back to the points raised about alleged anti-competitive forces; as a general rule I AM a fan of more competition versus less.. as I think competition in many cases brings about a better product and one that priced to reflect the more true market cost.

However, I also agree that it's not as simplistic to say "we won't allow X carrier to have more than Y% of slots".. as you've noted, there's lots of inter-related issues there.. not only the airports (thus city or county governments) as well as all the 'little guys' who support the airport and the tenants as well.
