Thanks David - understood. There must be suitable window for a later departure/arrival time. I admit I have not given it too much thought. But something timed around a 5-7pm departure from MAN Id have thought would be popular.
Do we know anything about VS/DL plans for MAN? I know the BS to ATL route has been doing well, as has DL to JFK. VS are often mooted (as in this thread) as possible operators of a SFO and/or LAX route. I don't know what presence DL has at these locations but it would likely be relevant to any decision.
