They base the interference on the prices flying from Scotland being higher but you tend to find if your further away from somewhere it costs more to get to there I'm not so sure that their arguments are really that sound. Seems more like lets annoy people by interfering again.

It will be interesting to see which way this goes.
The current situation at Heathrow is that it is running at full capacity. This means when any technical problems or bad weather occurs flights have to be cancelled. The general rule of thumb is that short haul flights are sacrificed as opposed to long hall, so it is often flights to Scotland that suffer.
That being the case, I would say what's 'good for Scotland' would be to approve the expansion.
HOWEVER, the SNP are an intelligent lot and I see a strategic decision being made here to stir up controversy, cause further Anglo/Scots divide or simply to go against what the Tory government want. They are self declared separatists after all. And separatists like to cause division of opinion.

I've always used Amsterdam Schiphol as a 'hub', just as convenient and certainly more attractive if you have to spend any time between flights.

Although this is an old report from BBC News website, it still stands if the 3rd runway goes ahead -this is the human cost - http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/4731948.stm

That's the price of progress & I'm sure they will be suitably compensated unlike all those forced out of their homes by the bedroom tax, benefit caps etc
