Agree Parky747 MAN is crying out for U2 but the current climate and the deal LPL made them sign to even start ops at MAN may mean we never see U2 in any great scale.
I would have thought BE would have been all over MAN like a rash really mopping especially cities and biz destinations (like AMS MAD, and BCN) this would fit in well with their model and give us back most of the routes BACX used to operate but within a more cost effective business model.
It surprises me how much Baby, Flybe and now FR fawn over BHX when there is so much competition there yet MAN is left with a smattering of routes from each operator.
