Now that is more like the "gamechanger" we need , a "proper" increase
How? It's a re-introduction of an exisiting and recently suspended service, it's in no way a game changer. Exisiting MAN-ATL are going to be less than impressed with the VS A330 Dream Suite when existing VS elites go out of their way to avoid it in favour of the older VS A346/ B744 version. The truth is in the numbers not the PR come on ! The product out of MAN will therefore be inferior to the B788 out of LHR and even the revamped existing Delta lie flat B763s which have been deployed into the London market.

It's a plus having JFK back for sure but losing ATL to Virgin is a retrograde step IMHO. Look closely at the focus here.
