Joe, it would be a very brave predator to fly EDI-ATL. If Delta can't make money flying from their BIGGEST HUB, good luck to all those others.......

And as for 87,000 pax flying a route you've been posting long enough to know that even a 100% load factor can be loss making if the yield is low. Scotland is highly seasonal and hard to balance the books when you have a nice big premium cabin to fill and you have to discount to do it.
