GLA was a great route until British Midland became BMI and nothing much went right from there on in. BD's major issue was not getting enough revenue from partners for carrying all their passengers to LHR. That tells you a lot about bmi.
Remember VS are using "prime" LHR slots on long haul and watching both absolute traffic and market share drop! Now that slow collapse has been arrested recently but consider progress has stalled. ORD still can't be run year round, YVR hardly made much impact and BOS is now on an A343 half the time when it used to be a B747! They are being squeezed badly by AA/BA. Look at MIA, after all these years, still only once daily. They need to fill those flights somehow, tapping core domestic markets is a start.
