The Atlantic is a joint venture and since it is risk sharing it is expected that DL will have a say. They will want VS to serve their hubs and their customers; this is being achieved.
That makes a lot of sense. Do you think we'll see a VS operated LHR-SLC in coming years? The only trans-Atlantic Skyteam out of SLC is the DL flight to CDG. Not sure if the demand will be there. But it will open up a whole section of north-west US from the SLC hub. One connection flights to places there would be useful out of Heathrow.
