Just because something or someone is European doesn't automatically make them smarter than North Americans........although this flawed theory is omnipresent is many areas of life not just aviation.

I always hear these interviews with these stern, stoic sounding Dutchmen who say " De Problim witt America ist, your engineering and science ist bat (bad) New Orlins ist below sea level and it ist destroyed and we schtill have Amschterdam and many Otha schitt *ies because ov da dykesh". ......completely ignoring the fact that the lack of Hurricanes in the North Sea maaaaaaaaay have helped your dijks.

The Dutch can get away with holding tourists hostage with this Green stunt, well because they can. On the other hand the Scottish government knows outside of the VFR market in Canada and Australia, nobody really has Edinburgh on their bucket list and they have gone out of their way to be accommodating to JetBlue. If they pulled a Green stunt like this it would cripple their economy for years.
