Interestingly, a Virgin pilot friend of mine has just called me, all excited because he ahs been allowed to move up and base himself at MAN. He flies the B747s out of LGW normally but comes from near Mancheter. He has been allowed to make the move up here because he has been told there is to be more demand for MAN based VS pilots due to expansion. However, he only knows of the MCO and BGI weekly route to startthis winter. Maybe VS are looking at some 747 expansion from MAN at long last?
