why not LHR-JFK???
Why would BMI consider flying MAN-JFK?? They have no feeder traffic at either end (one of the reasons UA could not survive on the LHR-JFK route); the withdrawl of UA on the LHR-JFK has left Star Alliance with a major gap in their network...surely it would be more sensible and commercially vialbe for BMI to fly LHR-JFK...not MAN-JFK.
