They were much better off in T2. It's partly up to American which one of JFK/ORD/PHL to promote really, might they be better (he said repeating himself) offering two destinations from T2 across a A332/B772 and a B757/B767?
Ah yes, let's get MAN having fewer passengers. What a splendid idea.
Ask yourself. why should the regional airport get shafted because there's a surfeit of capacity that's not being filled at LHR? Why not do the bleeding obvious and cut LHR services. IF the poor business passenger has to wait all of 2 or 3 hours to get a service at LHR then so what. In the regions, miss your flight and you have to wait 24 hours.
