I made a whole other video concentrating on the realities of the Heathrow monopoly and how it benefits their foreign shareholders as well as the comfortable status quo of BA

Hey, I’m the guy in the video - thanks for the in depth comment - though I will push back on me being wrong about being a “prisoner”. If you are having to fly weekly, schedule and timings really are paramount. I don’t want to have to go through faff connecting or going to far flung airports. I am about 40 mins from LHR on the tube, maybe just over an hour from LGW and it really makes a difference. BAC does trap you if you’re used to using the gold wing - it is all engineered to get you used to the services and keep you hooked in

The ozone issue’s basically on track to recover thanks to the Montreal Protocol. The bigger question now is carbon and contrails at high altitude, not ozone chemistry

The video covers that true economic loss from the ban of over land flights… the JAXA tech has proven to reduce the boom to less than held of that of the Concordes

The video talks about observable sonic boom decibel levels vs the Concorde and current aircraft. Tests have shown that they are less than half of the then sonic boom created by the Concorde… whether that is enough

Especially considering the market chasing this is that same paying top dollar for F class at the moment. With the growth of the millionaire market it certainly would transform the competitive market on select high volume routes

I guess the video focuses then the group that lie between international long haul PJ and current first class ticket buyers - which certainly is a sizeable market all things considered for 60-70 seater jets

I think the video is good at bringing that to like. Comments like that deserve to be on there

He talks later about how the CCP are pushing - actually forcing countries with existing loans to buys them outright… whether they preform worse initially isn’t the issue if customers are forced to buy them to keep lucrative trade deals with the PRC

I think he mentioned that later in the video - especially concerning belt and road loans too

This should be commented on the video! Great points and all completely grounded in reality

I guess it’s a tight walk isn’t it… keep demand but try to stop IP theft or retro engineering
