I think we must be careful that all these TATL changes.
All airlines will now be competing to gain the upper ground. Certainly in the UK Oneworld rule the roost and overall within Europe I think they will have the greatest number of flights across both North and South America. Surely they don't want to give up that status?
My main point is that I hope all these airlines don't launch tens of routes and a number from MAN to gain first ground and/or retaliation to competing airlines operations to then realise they aren't profitable and then dump them.
Just a thought...
