They could very well bring back BFS-MCO.. EDI-MCO could be slightly upgauged and switched to A330, could share an aircraft EDI/BFS (and put the MAN A350 on LAS)
EDI-MCO is already an A350, an A330 would be a major down-guage. With the exchange rate where it is, BFS-MCO isn't low hanging fruit anymore. Given Delta gave the Atlanta route to Virgin which they really have struggled to make a success of, you might just find ATL gets dropped entirely. The costs of operating would climb if Delta came back on ATL-MAN, that's why it went to VS.
