Ian, who mentioned '5 or so' non-scheduled long haul visits? LAX and I were querying why it had to be a blanket policy of no divs, when 2 or 3 smaller a/c could probably be accommodated. I mentioned 2 wide body a/c possibly but merely as an example for being just a wee bit flexible.
However, MAN's policy doesn't seem to be of that view so I think we've exhausted the subject. I don't suppose comments on here will influence them but I'm sure they will appreciate your support.
