Grandad,

What's bullshit skull?

You saying it wasn't BAAs decision to introduce a permitted rank at the airport?

Explain how restricted practice works and then tell me about BAA's idea?

No i won't explain how restricted practice works. That's not what this thread is about. It's about BAA charging a drop off fee and it's grown into a discussion on how the permit rank came to be. So how did the permit rank come to be skull? BAA idea or the taxi drivers deciding to put a rank in place?

A restricted practice operates by herding people together and selling them on like cattle. In our case, to dumb, feckwitted Taxi Drivers that don't know their ar*e from their elbow.

Instead of allowing people to leave the airport concourse unabated. British Airport Authorities (BAA) create a restriction, or bottleneck to slow their progress. They then restrict or limit their choice to the service they require, in this case, a taxi service. This effectively turns the passenger into a commodity, to be sold on to some complete plank that already pays to provide a licensed service to the customer. Enter, Forward Travel.

All customers in all kinds of business are commodities. Without customers there'd be no business at all and it's not like the forward travel from the airport is restricted customers have choices on how they arrive and leave. Nobody seems to mind paying to park when they go shopping. BAA have profits to make for shareholders, they have facilities to improve and maintain for users and that all takes money and lots of it. Just be glad you haven't got to pay to land a plane there I'm sure that's a damn sight more in the grand scheme of things

God you talk, some [edited by admin] Toots. Do you ever engage your brain before you start typing?

No, customers are customers. They have a choice. Not a fettered choice or a restricted choice, but a free choice, and they are not supposed to be turned into commodities, to be sold as a consequence of being denied their right to exercise that choice.

A restricted practice is about restricting services to the customer, with the sole purpose of selling the customer to the service provider.

If the free drop of point where any further away from the main terminal at Edinburgh Airport, the punters would have to buy camels to get to there.

Incidentally Toots, the last time people were turned into commodities to be sold. It was called slavery.

They're not restricting the services, you just have to pay for them. You want everything free ffs. Stop insulting me as well every time I make a comment, I've got more intelligence in my little finger than you've got in your dick. If you don't want opinion that differs from your own then go have a pow wow with your mate jasbar, you won't be missed

Right back on track,
I noticed that a barrier has been put in place to the old drop off (the one where anyone could drop) and it now empty any ideas why, or whats its intended use???

That's where those with airport permits (Forward Travel & Onward Travel) drop off for free!!!!!

They could have let all taxis and PH in there to drop and pick for free, what a waste of space

Restricting customer access to services and thereby restricting the service providers' access to the customer, is exactly why BAA, can charge for providing a service. If both the customer and the service provider had unfettered access to each other, there would be nothing to charge for. The customer would cease to be a commodity to be sold on.

.
As for your intelligence Toots, you are a thick cow with a man problem. Your “opinion” isn't worth squat.

It's more considered than yours and doesn't come with a bullying undertone.
