I said the exact same thing just in far fewer words.

Redeploying frames is much more complex than adjusting pricing.

If they could maintain adequate yield ex-MAN then they would.

Surely what it tells us is that underlying demand for this route is weak enough that capacity rather than pricing needs to be adjusted for seasonality.

Not confident about increased winter frequency for VS to JFK.

Just paid 1500 quid for roundtrip in J.

About 200 of that was taxes (real ones, not the YQ stuff the airline keeps)

Paranoid. Give it up.

I'm a Mancunian and I love my home city.

That doesn't mean I want to sit in a crappy seat when I go home.

Nor does it make MAN stronger if they lost a network carrier...

If true this seems terrible news.

For J class PAX, you just can't replace even NG seats on a 752 with premium economy on TCX, let alone a reconfigured 763 or Zodiac equipped 788.

Darn.

Very much looking forward to AA returning the 788.

Much better hard product than BA from LHR in J, with more connections at t'other end.

Hopefully there's room for this as well as TCX.

You made my point.

Other than the great lounge at LHR, Virgin Upper is really quite weak. Their network is too small. Their seats are called flying coffins for a reason. Try Flyertalk. They sold...

I'm not arguing the service couldn't be improved. Clearly it can.

AA is "based" at DFW. Are their operations at ORD or JFK or MIA not a base?
