"Regarding the BG rumour of a DAC-MAN-JFK. They've now got two leased 74's a -200 and a -300. The -200 with 16J and 526Y and the -300 with 512Y seats. That'll quite nicely replace the BA service

Jees. I can't see many people with any knowledge of aircraft type and cabin comfort choosing those configs to JFK over the other types currently flying there - even if it is cheaper.
If I were SLF (and not flying upfront or a SLF crew moving between the US and the UK), I would not be choosing BG. In fact, I will be speaking to our travel guys to ensure we are not booked on BG for any crew movements.
