Just one point, if the regions need all this connectivity and higher frequency why has Little Red not been a runaway success?
By all acounts every flight should be full ...but aren't
Connectivity depends on critical mass, BA has it, LH has it, EK/QR/EY AF have it, KL has it however VS doesn't come close and VS/DL is still not there. Do you deny the UK should even have a hub Bagso? I assume you mean you'd prefer KLM to leave MAN-AMS on fiddling little narrow bodies and set up a point to point MAN long haul operation with spare MD11s? Or am I misunderstanding?
