To shed some perspective.
You've bundled all 4 airports which serve both New York hubs. Collectively, over 375,000 passengers routinely travel the route on a monthly basis each way, utilising premium heavy aircraft in the main.
Despite oft claimed 'fact' on here, JFK remains a BA revenue jewel; there's a sound reason behind the decision to reconfigure and go 'Super-J' on the B744s.
MAN, by comparison, tends to hover around 29 - 30,000 with smaller aircraft, smaller premium cabins and a scheduled low-cost model operator.
Or were you typing, tongue firmly-in-cheek..?
