The product offered by the American carriers is just shocking, and it really does need adjusting to what the customers demand.
It is nice to see Delta taking the lead and planning on altering its product to fit the current market.
I hope that will keep passengers using the major carriers across the Atlantic, and I am sure VA will follow and react to the low cost competition from wow air and Norwegian.

I have not seen anything official with regards to Norwegian flying from Manchester across the Atlantic.
I am very sceptical about flying narrow bodies across the Atlantic, they do not have the performance to reach the higher levels to cross the Atlantic straight out of the UK, or the performance to keep the pace with the 777, 787 and A330's crossing the Atlantic.
Therefore they will be kept low, in the weather flying slower then every other carrier.
