Oh no the cool kids are ganging up on me.
The reason I have such disdain for the usual suspects ( other than getting this thread locked for being off topic and full of drivel and essays) is the lack of knowledge spouted with such self importance. PK's flights thru MAN are nothing like AI's thru LHR. They have rights (for up to 5 weekly if I remember correctly?) to the US which they've used sparingly to various US cities in the past. Maybe, if the once mooted LAX flights ever materialise they may get used again.
