As an inhabitant of Newcastle (Flybe's routes to and from which go nowhere near MAN or LHR) who likes the occasional trip to the Channel Islands via SOU, the relentless emphasis in the press release on feed to MAN and LHR worries me. Virgin Atlantic branding on an aircraft flying between GCI and SOU, or NCL and EXT, just doesn't seem to make sense. Big cuts to UK regional flying on the way, I fear
