No escalating blood pressure, just bemusement that curtailment of two weekly frequencies from a successful uncontested daily service in favour of running two seasonal flights as second carrier on a weaker route could even be seriously considered by anyone in the industry. BTW, the posting suggesting 5x weekly ATL was posted at teatime on March 31st, not on April 1st (or I might have been suspicious myself). A posting on another forum suggests that the ATL frequency-cut proposal is actually incorrect, and that comes from another usually well-informed source. Hopefully, that will be borne out.
Meanwhile, why are there objections to discussion of a potential fundamental change to one of MAN's longest-established long-haul routes? What is a discussion forum for? If this change is even under consideration then Virgin need to be urged by MAG to think again ... no harm in flagging up the issue. Perhaps you prefer a not in front of the children approach?
