MAN flies around 130,000 on the route anually. Don't know why it was downgraded froma T7 afew years ago to a 763, but now upto a 764 and looking good!
Maybe the JFK route will do ok! GSM havn't ventured onto the atlantic routes from the airport, and JFK offers better connections that CO can do at Newark, so why not? After all, they have been able to take on BA and CO at MAN!
Why didn't DL just downgrade on the ATL route instead of moving the route all together?
